Abstract

The term Marma (vital point) is defined as “Maryanti iti Marmani” that spot when injured kills the person. The Vitap Marma is considered as Snayu Marma by Acharya Sushruta and Sira Marma by Acharya Vagbhata with dimension of one Angula. The effect of injury in Vitap Marma is infertility or deformities in spermatogenesis and Oogenesis. According to WHO infertility is defined as failure to achieve a pregnancy after 12 months or more of regular unprotected sexual intercourse. Infertility affects millions of people of reproductive age worldwide and has an impact on their families and communities. Estimates suggest that between 48 million couples and 186 million individuals live with infertility globally. Vitap Marma is situated between pelvis and scrotum. Vitap Marma should be identified as inguinal canal consisting of spermatic cord.
