OLIGOSPERMIA: A CASE STUDY

Abstract

Sexual health is also as important as good physical health. One should never feel shy to share their sexual problems. Sometimes these problems ruin self esteem and social life. There is nothing bad to talk about sex problems and relationships because these complications can become the reason of frictions in married couples. Oligospermia tends to have no effect on sexual function. Men may not know they have this unless they are having trouble in conceiving with a partner. Oligospermia has been diagnosed with low sperm count after doing a semen analysis. Oligospermia is one of the major leading causes of infertility. According to Ayurveda, Anatomical and physiological variation in Shukra Dhatu leads to infertility there is no direct correlation of oligospermia but we can correlate it with Shukra Kshaya. There are various herbs and natural compounds in Ayurveda which are quiet beneficial to treat this problem.

In this case we use combination of some Ayurvedic drugs - (Siddha Makar Dwaj+Putrajeevak beej+Shivalingi beej + Chandraprabha vati ) along with lifestyle modifications were used. As Apana vayu is responsible for proper expulsion of Shukra, so medicines are given at Apanakala. It shows significant improvement in sperm count and motility, and improvement in erection dysfunction and sexual desire.
