Abstract

Infertility primarily refers to the biological inability of a person to contribute to conception. In women, it may also refer to the state when she is not able to carry a pregnancy to its full term. Female infertility is caused due to structural problems like blocked Fallopian tubes, defect in cervical canal, uterine fibroid or polyps. Hormonal imbalance leading .ovulation problems too can cause infertility. From Ayurvedic perspectives, Shukra Dhatu can get affected by various physical, mental causes and even by serious diseases. Poor quality Shukra Dhatu can cause infertility in males and females.
