Abstract

In a country like India, where overpopulation is a pressing issue, infertility remains a serious concern that can lead to marital disharmony. Infertility is a medical condition affecting either the male or female reproductive system, characterized by the inability to conceive despite having regular, unprotected sexual intercourse for 12 months or more. A couple patients from Vijayapura visited the Kayachikitsa OPD of BLDEA’s AVS Ayurveda Mahavidyalaya Hospital and Research Centre Vijayapura, on 1/8/2023, with the chief complaint of being unable to conceive his partner despite of having unprotected coitus for five years of married life. Based on examination and semen analysis report, he was diagnosed with Ksheenashukra (Oligospermia). He was treated with Virechana followed by Bastyanda Baladi Yapanabasti, and Matrabasti with Ashwagandha Ghrita. This treatment successfully reversed the pathology from Oligospermia to a normal semen study. The present study concludes that the combined effect of Bastyanda Baladi Yapanabasti and other Vajikarana Yogas has shown excellent results in significantly improving sexual and seminal parameters in cases of Oligospermia.
