What is the difference between Azoospermia and Oligospermia?

Azoospermia and Oligospermia are names of the problems related to male infertility. Azoospermia is where semen has no sperm at all and Oligospermia is not a lot of sperm available in the semen.

Azoospermia:

It is a medical condition where the ejaculate of men has no sperm at all. It affects about 1% of the male population. It requires a minimum of twice sample tests to confirm Azoospermia. 

Types of Azoospermia:

Azoospermia occurs due to a lack of sperm production in testicles or blockage that prevents them from getting out of it. There are three types of Azoospermia based on this aspect. 

They are: 

  1. Pre-testicular Azoospermia: It is a non-obstructive type of Azoospermia in which the testicles are normal but can’t produce sperm or they produce immature sperm. It can occur due to hormonal imbalances and genetic disorders. 
  2. Testicular Azoospermia: It’s also a non-obstructive type of azoospermia in which the testicles are damaged and can’t produce sperm regularly. It can be caused due to a reproductive tract infection, a childhood sickness like viral orchitis, a groin injury, radiation treatments for cancer, and genetic conditions such as Klinefelter’s syndrome.
  3. Post-testicular Azoospermia: It is a type of Obstructive Azoospermia in which sperm cannot leave the body due to a blockage. The epididymis or the vas deferens tubes, which store and transport sperm might cause this occlusion. 40% of azoospermia cases are due to this post-testicular Azoospermia. 

Oligospermia:

It is the major cause of infertility in men that availability of very less sperm when compared to the minimum required for conception. According to the WHO organization, the minimum sperm count in ejaculate should be 20 million. The sperm count which is less than that is termed Oligospermia or Oligozoospermia.

Types of Oligospermia:

Based on the severity Oligospermia also 3 types:

  1. Mild Oligospermia: It occurs when the sperm count is between 10 and 15 million per milliliter of blood. 
  2. Moderate Oligospermia: A sperm count of 5 to 10 million sperm/mL is diagnosed.
  3. Severe Oligospermia: When the sperm count is between 0 and 5 million sperm/mL, it is considered as severe Oligospermia.
