Abstract
As per the World Health Organization (WHO) report in India, the overall prevalence of primary infertility ranges between 3.9 and 16.8%. A recent report on the status of infertility states that 50% of it is related to productive anomalies or disorders in males. In comparison, 90% of male infertility problems are related to Oligospermia and other abnormalities in semen analysis. As per Ayurveda, Oligospermia can be considered as Ksheena Shukra (Oligospermia). Surgery, Hormone treatments, medications and Assisted Reproductive Technology (ART) are the main lines of treatment in Conventional medicine, but these are associated with many unwanted and severe adverse effects. The present case discussion is about effectively managing a case diagnosed as Ksheena Shukra with Ayurvedic intervention. This case report aims to evaluate the effect of Ayurvedic treatment in managing Ksheena Shukra. In this case study, Shodhana (Purificatory Therapy) procedures {especially Virechana Karma (Purgation) and Vasti(Enema)} were performed before administering Rasayana (Rejuvenation) drugs; the pre- and postsemen analysis during the treatment period shows a marked increase in sperm count and motility. The outcome of this case reveals that Ayurvedic treatments can effectively manage the Oligospermia associated with male infertility.
