Fewer Sperm Doesn’t Mean Fewer Chances — With the Right Care
When a couple struggles to conceive, the cause isn’t always the woman. In nearly 40% of infertility cases, the issue lies with the male partner — and one of the most common diagnoses is oligospermia, or low sperm count.
At Sparsh IVF, we take male infertility seriously. Our approach combines confidential evaluation, cutting-edge diagnostics, and advanced reproductive techniques to help men overcome oligospermia and confidently take their next step toward fatherhood.
Oligospermia refers to a lower than normal concentration of sperm in the semen. According to the World Health Organization (WHO), a sperm count below 15 million sperm per milliliter is classified as oligospermia.
| Classification | Sperm Count | Severity |
|---|---|---|
| Mild | 10–15 million/ml | Often treatable |
| Moderate | 5–10 million/ml | May require ART |
| Severe | < 5 million/ml | Often needs IVF-ICSI |
Even with a low count, natural or assisted conception is possible — depending on the sperm’s motility, morphology, and DNA integrity.
Identifying the root cause is key to successful treatment. Common causes include:
At Sparsh IVF, we leave no stone unturned in understanding the cause — and crafting a personalized path forward.
