Which term is used to describe semen with abnormally high volume?

• A. Hypospermia
• B. Hyperspermia
• C. Hydrosalpinx
• D. Latrogenic testicular failure

Answer: (B)

High semen volume is described as hyperspermia. In semen analysis, volume is one of the key parameters, with a normal upper limit around a few milliliters; volumes that exceed this are termed hyperspermia. The term hypospermia describes the opposite—a low semen volume. The other two options don’t describe semen volume: hydrosalpinx is a female condition involving a fluid-filled fallopian tube, and latrogenic testicular failure refers to reduced sperm production due to medical intervention. So hyperspermia is the correct term because it specifically denotes an abnormally high ejaculate volume.
