Abstract

More than 40% of infertility cases are due to male causes and one of the causes of male infertility is oligoasthenoteratozoospermia. A 34- year-old man was visited at our clinic with primary infertility. He presented with complaints of being unable to conceive his partner in the last 7 years of his married life. The diagnosis of oligoasthenoteratozoospermia (shukra dosha) was established after a detailed clinical examination and laboratory testing. According to ayurvedic treatment guidelines, the patient was given koshtha-shuddhi (purgation) with abhyadi modakam. After undergoing the necessary purification processes, the patient was administered shaman ausadhi such as kapikacchu, makardwaj vati, sakravallab ras, and veerya shodhak churna for 5 months, along with uttar basti with ksheerbala tailam at the interval of 10 days. Semen analysis showed a significant improvement in sperm count, motility, and morphology after 5 months. The current results, and the successful treatment of oligoasthenoteratozoospermia using Ayurvedic formulations with minimal side effects, demonstrates the traditional medicine's promising potential in male infertility diseases.
