GlossaryHypospermia

Hypospermia is a medical condition characterized by a lower than normal volume of semen during ejaculation, typically defined as less than 1.5 milliliters. While primarily associated with male fertility issues, it can also have indirect relevance to hair loss, as hormonal imbalances affecting semen production may also influence androgen levels, which are linked to conditions like androgenetic alopecia. Key distinguishing characteristics of hypospermia include not only the reduced semen volume but also potential changes in sperm quality and motility, which can impact reproductive health.
