Its defined as a condition where a person has low sperm count when he has fewer than 15 million sperms per of semen.(also known as oligospermia)
There are other forms of infertility which affect the sperm density to a lesser degree, as well as infertility caused by abnormal sperm mobility (making it harder for the sperm to swim to the egg) and sperm morphology (meaning that sperm are shaped abnormally and cannot fertilise the egg).

Intracytoplasmic Sperm Injection (ICSI)
Hormonal treatment
injectable hormones- Pergonal or Humagon,
Antibiotic treatment:
Surgery
repair a blockage in sperm transport
Intracytoplasmic Sperm Injection (ICSI) may be the best option to ensure egg fertilization.
Magnetic assorting cell sorting(MACS) with(ICSI)
Sperm DNA fragmentation
Artificial donor sperm insemination
