Low sperm count or #oligospermia means the semen a man ejaculates during an orgasm contains fewer sperm than normal. Medically, it means having less than 15 million sperm in 1ml of your semen.
If there's no sperm at all in your semen, it is called #azoospermia.

#Varicocele is a swelling of the testis veins. It's a major cause of low sperm count & infertility in men.
Sperm cells are very fragile & varicoceles create abnormal temperature inside the testis which might kill some sperm or reduce their quality, leading to infertility.
