Abstract

The spermatogenesis is the important stage of male developmental biology. The spermatogenesis is a complex process that involves multiplication, development & maturation of germ cells into male gamete. The Shukra Dhatu is the seventh Dhatu of body which is has no Dhatu-Mala. Ayurveda has praised Shukra for its functions like Bala, Priti, Prajotpadana etc. Only a viable and quality Shukra Dhatu is capable of reproduction. Any defects in the Shukra formation will eventually affect its normal functions. The understanding of spermatogenesis is a prerequisite for diagnosing and treating male infertility. An attempt has been made in the present paper to understand the process of spermatogenesis in Ayurveda in relation to Shukra Dhatu Utpatti and its Karya (functions).
