Abstract

Male infertility is often associated with abnormalities in semen parameters, including sperm count, motility, and morphology. Azoospermia, the complete absence of sperm in the ejaculate, is one of the most severe forms of male infertility and poses significant challenges to natural conception. Conventional treatments, such as hormonal therapies and antioxidants, aim to address these issues but often yield variable results.[1,2] Ayurveda, with its holistic approach, offers alternative treatments that enhance spermatogenesis, supporting improved semen quality through their antioxidant properties and restorative effects on the reproductive system. This case study examines a 32-year-old male patient diagnosed with azoospermia, characterized by 0 sperm count, motility, and morphology, as indicated by his semen analysis in January 2025. The patient also reported symptoms of premature ejaculation and low libido. After excluding other potential causes of infertility, the patient was treated with Beehj (Ayurvedic proprietary medicine), Shilajit, Makar, and Vata Balancer for three months. These medicines possess well-documented Vrushya (Aphrodisiac), Balya (Strength-promoting), and Shukra dhatu vardhaka (Reproductive tissue-rejuvenating) actions, which contributed to marked improvements in semen parameters—including sperm count, motility, and morphology—as well as significant relief from sexual dysfunction symptoms such as low libido and premature ejaculation. Following the completion of the three-month treatment course, conception occurred. The absence of any reported adverse events further supports the safety and potential clinical utility of these Ayurvedic interventions in the management of male infertility.
