Brief Answer:
oligospermia to be confirmed

Detailed Answer:
Hi,

I read your query and I understand your concerns.

Following is my reply:

1) You have oligospermia. It means low sperm count.

2) Normal sperm count should be more than 15 million per ml. Your sperm count is only 12 million per ml.

3) I suggest you repeat semen analysis in another standard laboratory to confirm if the present report is correct before planning for next option.

I hope your doubt is clarified.

Let me know if you have any more queries.

Regards,

Dr. Mahesh Koregol
