Abstract

Male infertility is primarily caused by low sperm count (oligospermia) and reduced sperm motility (asthenospermia), which can be linked to Shukravaha Srotas Dushti and is an issue of global dimensions. Around the world, 8–12% of spouses struggle with infertility. Ten kinds of Shukra Dushti that cannot produce offspring have been described by Acharya Sushrut. The function of Shukra Dhatu according to modern aspects can be explained as reproductive strength of the person, in this Shukra means semen only. Factors affecting decrease of Shukra Dhatu leads to Shukra Kshaya can be co-related with oligospermia in males. Ayurvedic management was used to successfully treat a 36-year-old man who had been diagnosed with oligo-asthenospermia, a condition marked by low sperm count and non-motile spermatozoa. The man had been married for three years and his wife had a regular menstrual cycle. After Aamapachana, the aim of this case report is to evaluate the effect of Ayurvedic treatment in Shukra Kshaya which leads to male infertility. And its outcome reveals that the oligospermia associated with male infertility can be effectively managed by Ayurvedic treatments.
