What is WHO criteria?!?

Heard from my doctor's office today that DH's SA came back with a low WHO criteria.  I am so confused and the nurse on the phone couldn't explain to me what this was.  Does anyone know and can tell me about it?  I am freaking out a bit here :(

    I googled and came across this article. Hope it helps! I've never heard of WHO although I'm sure it's all the same things but different offices use different wording.

    Best of luck!

    Thank you :)  I, too, had never heard anything like this before and was so surprised that the nurse didn't even know what it was.    That link had a lot of info, though.  Thanks, again!
