Abstract

Fertility is an important aspect of human life in India. Hence, infertility is seen as very physical and emotional issue amongst Indian society. In about half of the cases of infertility, male partner has a causative factor behind. Near about 35% of the infertile male are due to oligozoospermia. Although there is no promising cure for this disease, Ayurvedic preparations often have shown marked improvement in semen parameters. Here is the presentation of a subject, aged 28 years, whose initial sperm count was found to be 7.6 million/mL. The subject was treated with vajikarak aushadha, but before that virechana karma was done along with snehapan (phalaghrita) and external snehana and swedana. In vajikarak aushadha we used madhuyashti churna, shatavaari churna, chandraprabha vati and vanari kalpa which helped in improving sperm count. The medicine was given for 2-month period. After that period when semen analysis was repeated, the total sperm count was found to be 23.5. Here a guideline is given as how a case of oligozoospermia is successfully treated on proper Ayurvedic management.
