Abstract

Infertility is a state in which a successful pregnancy has not occured despite engaging in normal intercourse for a duration of 12 months. The etiology of female infertility is multifactorial. Ayurveda provides reassurance of a normal pregnancy through the appropriate maintenance of Garbha Samgraha Samagris i.e. Rutu, Kshetra, Ambu, Beej and normal mental health. All the causes of female infertility can be attributed to an imbalance in Garbha Samgraha Samagri and mental factors. In this particular case, the patient has experienced primary infertility for a period of six years and sought ayurvedic treatment subsequent to allopathic consultation and treatment procedures. Recurrent pregnancy lossi. e. Putraghni yonivyapad and advocates specific treatments such as Uttarbasti for this condition. Given that yoniyapada leads to infertility due to vikrit Vata, the treatment of Vata, namely Bastichikitsa, is considered highly beneficial in managing Infertility. Along with this Virechan and Raktmokshan was done along with shaman chikitsa.
