Classification of indicators of the spermogram
The analysis of the spermogram can be deciphered according to the following indices:
- teratozoospermia - decrease in the number of normal spermatozoa;
- asthenozoospermia - decreased activity of spermatozoa;
- cryptozoospermia - after centrifugation in the ejaculate there are individual spermatozoa;
- azoospermia - absence in the ejaculate of healthy spermatozoa;
- oligozoospermia - reduction in the ejaculate of the total number of spermatozoa;
- aspermia - complete absence of ejaculate.
Poor analysis of spermogram shows the presence of erythrocytes in sperm( with normospermia they are completely absent in sperm).
