Ayurvedic management of Ksheena Shukra - A Case Study
Abstract
Low sperm count (oligospermia) and reduced motility of sperms (asthenospermia) is the main causes of male infertility and it can be correlated with Shukravaha Srotas Dushti and is a problem of global proportions. Worldwide infertility is affecting on an average 8-12% of couples. Acharya Sushrut has explained 10 types of Shukra Dushti which are incapable of producing a progeny. Shukravaha Srotas Dushti leads to Aharsha, Klaibya etc. there is no direct correlation of oligospermia but we can correlate it with Shukra Kshaya or Ksheena Shukra. A 38-year-old male who had been diagnosed as Oligoasthenospermia with low sperm count and non-motile spermatozoa with 10 years of married life and his wife with regular menstrual cycle, were treated successfully with Ayurvedic management. After Aamapachana, patient was administered with YapanaBasti along with Apatyakar Ghrita as Sneha for 30 days. There was marked improvement in the seminal parameters.
