Effect of ayurvedic formulation on severe oligospermia (ksheenshukra) - A case study

Producing progeny is a natural gift given by the mother nature to the living organism, and it is an important part of human life as well. Therefore, infertility is viewed as a highly physical and emotional problem in Indian society.About half of infertility cases are caused by male factors. Approximately 35% of infertile men are due to oligospermia. There is no promising cure for this disease, but Ayurvedic preparations often show significant improvements in semen parameters. Oligospermia can be corelated with the Ksheenshukra entity in the Ayurvedic literature. This case study features a 26-year-old subject whose initial sperm count was 3.5 million/mL. virechana karma was done on this subject with snehapan (go ghrita), external snehana, and swedana and then Vajikarak aushadha was used to heal the subject. We employed shilajatvadi lauha, vanari kalpa, ashwagandha churna, gokshura churna and shatavari churna as vajikarak aushadha to help with sperm count. About 3 months were spent administering the medication. When semen analysis was performed again after these medications, it was discovered that there were 80.0 million/mL total sperm count. Here is the presentation of how to successfully handle an ksheenshukra (oligospermia) case using Ayurveda.
