Low sperm count is a common male infertility problem. Usually men have 20 million sperm per milliliter of semen, while a count of 10 million sperm per milliliter or lower is considered too low. At times, men suffer from azoospermia, a condition where the ejaculate contains no sperm. While most of the men have high sperm count but they don’t have the ability to release the sperm and therefore their sperm become unable to fertilize the egg. A related condition is retrograde flow of sperm. When sperm are ejaculated, they travel back into the bladder and thus cannot enter the woman’s body. This condition may be caused by medications or occur after surgery.
