Abstract
Abstract: Infertility is defined as the failure of a couple to achieve conception within one or more years of regular unprotected coitus. Male infertility is any health issue in a man that lowers the chances of his fertile female partner getting pregnant. Males are found to be solely responsible for 20%–30% of infertility cases and contribute to 50% of overall cases. Testicular hypotrophy is a potential cause of reduced semen quality which results in decreased chances of successful fertilization of an ovum. In this case report, a 32-year-old male patient presented with complaints of primary infertility due to severe oligospermia associated with hypotrophy of testes and hyperviscosity since three years and six months of married life, with a 26-year-old female having regular menstruation. They underwent internal medication and Intrauterine Insemination (IUI) two times and were suggested an Intracytoplasmic Sperm Injection (ICSI) procedure. As per Ayurveda parameters, the case was diagnosed and medicines were administered in three phases: an initial phase of Deepana (~enhancing metabolic fire) and Anulomana (~proper elimination of flatus, feces, urine, etc.) Chikitsa (~treatment), followed by Granthibhoota shukradushti (~hyperviscous semen) Chikitsa in the second phase and Dhatu vriddhikara (~nourishment of the tissues) and Vajikarana chikitsa (~aphrodisiac treatment) in the last phase. After treatment, total sperm count increased from 1 million/cc to 20 million/cc, active motility improved from 3% to 10%, viscosity became normal, liquefaction time decreased from 1 h to 30 min and ultimately resulted in pregnancy followed by delivery of a healthy male baby weighing 2.75 kg.
