A medical condition in which semen is absent or deficient; the inability to produce or ejaculate sperm.
From Greek 'a-' (without) + 'sperma' (seed) + suffix '-ia' (condition). This diagnostic term became standard in medical terminology during the 19th century.
Aspermia can be 'true' (no sperm production) or 'false' (sperm produced but not ejaculated)—doctors had to invent these distinctions because treatment depends entirely on which type a patient has.
