Aspermia is the complete absence of sperm in the semen and as such means that a man will be completely infertile, this is a very rare condition.
Aspermia is the complete lack of semen (not to be confused with Azoospermia, the lack of sperm cells in the semen). Naturally, it is associated with infertility. One of the causes of aspermia is retrograde ejaculation, which can be brought on by excessive drug use, or as a result of prostate surgery.
Oligospermia stands for low semen volume and is often mistaken for;
Oligozoospermia, which means few "animals" (spermatozoa) in semen, a medical symptom of low sperm count affecting men. Oligozoospermia is now related to samples with less than 20 million spermatozoa per ml of ejaculate.
Oligozoospermia has many different causes, as many different medical conditions can reduce sperm concentration. The effects of these causes may be temporary or permanent.
Teratospermia or teratozoospermia is a condition characterised by the presence of sperm with abnormal morphology that affects fertility in males.
Asthenozoospermia (or "asthenospermia") is the medical term for reduced sperm motility. It decreases the sperm quality and is therefore one of the major causes of infertility or reduced fertility in men.
