Abstract

A woman will lead a blissful life after having a conception. Having a child completes the woman’s life. But the inability to conceive will adversely impact a woman’s life. Infertility has also been proposed as a major contributor to emotional problems and reduced quality of life. There are many factors causing infertility ovarian, uterine, tubal, cervical, and peritoneal factors. Among them tubal factors causing infertility account for about 25-30 % of all cases of infertility. Infections, abdominal surgery, and diseases such as endometriosis can cause scarring at the inner linings of fallopian tubes. STDS, past ectopic pregnancy and any previous abdominal surgeries may cause tubal blockage. The fallopian tube is the kshetra of Garbhadhan and is quite near to artava vaha srotas, as it carries the gamete before and zygote after fertilization. Correlating fallopian tubes with the artava vaha srotas, its block is compared with sanga srotodushti of this srotas. It is a vata-dominated tridoshaja vyadhi, where kapha can be another dominant dosha, the basti which is given through uttarmarga or utkrishta avayava or therapeutic procedure having shreshtha properties, is termed as uttar basti. The drugs having vata kapha shamaka, tridoshagna properties, and drugs with sukshma, sara, katu, ushna, and pramathi properties help remove the blockage and restore tubal functions.
