Record number: 3, Textual support number: 1 CONT
La Organización Mundial de la Salud(OMS) establecía que un hombre era fértil si su semen contenía 50 millones de espermatozoides. [Dicha organización] decidió rebajar esa cifra tras comprobarse, en un estudio con una población de más de mil varones, tanto fértiles como infértiles, que los primeros(con paternidad recientemente reconocida) aportaron una media de 20 millones por mililitro. [...] Hoy, por debajo de esta cantidad mínima los expertos diagnostican oligoespermia(escasez de espermatozoides), razón suficiente para que un donante sea rechazado en un banco de semen. 2, record 3, Spanish, - oligospermia
