Ayurvedic management of oligoasthenozoospermia – a single case study

Background

Oligoasthenozoospermia (OA) syndrome, characterized by redced sperm count below 16 million/ml and reduced motility below 39%, is one of the major causes of infertility. In Ayurveda, it can be correlated with shukradushti, where vitiation of vata and pitta doshas occurs, leading to impaired quality and function of shukra dhatu. Ayurvedic management involving shodana, shamana and rasayana therapies may improve semen quality and reproductive potential.
