Abstract

The overall frequency of primary infertility in India varies from 3.9% to 16.8%, according to a World Health Organization (WHO) research. According to a recent research on the condition of infertility, 90% of male infertility issues are caused by oligospermia and other abnormalities in semen analysis, with 50% of cases being related to reproductive anomalies or illnesses in men. Oligospermia is regarded as KsheenaShukra in Ayurveda. The primary therapeutic options in conventional medicine include surgery, hormone therapies, medications, and assisted reproductive technology (ART); nevertheless, these are linked to numerous unintended and severe side effects. The Ayurvedic term for oligospermia is KsheenaShukra, which denotes low sperm counts or sperm counts of less than 15 million sperm/ml of sperm. The cause, signs, and treatment of ksheenashukra in the context of Ayurveda have all been covered in this article. The primary goals are to rule out the causes, investigate Ayurvedic perspectives, and provide KsheenaShukra with reasonably priced Ayurvedic treatment. There are several treatments available in the world of allopathic medicine, but none of them have produced the desired outcomes because the majority of them are hormonal in nature and do not address the underlying causes of the condition.In addition to contemporary textbooks, periodicals, and other websites, classic Ayurvedic works such as Charaka Samhita, Shusrut Samhita, AshtangaHridyam, and others have been used to explore literary aspects. Ayurvedic herbs with qualities like shita, Balya, Brishya, Madhura, sheet Virya, Vrihana, and pacify Vata, as well as therapies that pacify vata like basti, have been found to be effective in treating Ksheenashukra. These herbs are readily available and reasonably priced for all societal segments.
