Infertility Treatment

Ayurvedic Infertility treatment is the most leading way to achieve the happiness of being parenting. Infertility defined as a failure to conceive within one or more years of regular unprotected intercourse.
Primary infertility denotes those patients who have never conceived.
Secondary infertility indicates previous pregnancy but failure to conceive subsequently.
80% of the couples achieve conception if they so desire within one year of having regular intercourse with adequate frequency(4 times a week). As such, 20% remain infertile by the end of 1st year. Infertility treatment varies according to the causes present in male and /or female.

Factors responsible for fertility are-

Healthy sperms should be deposited high in the vagina.
Sperms should have adequate motility & count.
The motile sperms should swim through the cervix into the uterus and fallopian tubes.
There should be proper ovulation.
The Fallopian Tubes should be patent.
The sperms should fertilize the ovum.
The embryo should reach the uterus after three days of fertilization.

According to Ayurveda, Acharya Sushruta describes the factors responsible for fertility areas-

ध्रुवं चतूर्णां सानिध्यात गर्भ:स्याद विधीपूर्वकम्!

ऋतूक्षेत्रअंबुबीजानाम सामग्र्याद अंकुरो यथा!! सु. शा.

ज्याप्रमाणे अंकुर उगवण्यासाठी योग्य काळ, भूमी, बीज आणि जल यांची आवश्यकता असते, त्याप्रमाणे गर्भ उत्पत्तीसही योग्य असा ऋतुकाल(Proper Ovulation), ज्याठिकाणी गर्भाची उत्पत्ती व वाढ व्हावयाची तो गर्भाशय(Uterus, Fallopian Tubes), शरीराच्या अवयवास मूलभूत कारण असलेले स्त्री-पुरुष-बीज(Healthy Sperm & Ovum), आणि या सर्वांच्या पोषणासाठी परिवर्तनासाठी प्रसाद रूप असा उपधातू रज(Endometriam- Uterus Cavity) हे सर्व भाव अविकृत व संपन्न अशा स्थितीत असले पाहिजेत आणि त्यांचा संयोगही योग्य रीतीने व्हावयास पाहिजे.

Causes of Infertility -

Conception depends on the fertility potential of both male and female partners.

The male is directly responsible in about 30-40 percent, the female in about 40-50 percent, and both are responsible in about 10 percent cases.

The remaining 10 percent of cases are unexplained.

Faults in the Male Partner –

Defective sperm production. i.e., low sperm count, low sperm motility, etc.
Obstruction.
Failure to deposit sperms in the vagina. i.e., coital problems like erectile dysfunction, premature ejaculation, etc.
Defective seminal fluid.
Infection.
Impotence.

Faults in the Female Partner –

The major causes of female infertility are the Ovulatory factor, tubal factor. Similarly, Cervical factor, Uterine factor, Pelvic causes, and endometriosis.

Ovarian activity is dependent on hormones and mental health. The disturbance in ovary function result not only in ovulation problem but also produce menstrual irregularity. Like oligomenorrhoea. i.e., late menstrual periods or even amenorrhoea. i.e., absence of period,

Polycystic ovarian disease (PCOD) or polycystic ovarian syndrome(PCOS)

Tubal Factor –

Fallopian Tubes are responsible for catching the ovum produced by the ovary. Ovum gets traveled through the tubes & fertilization takes place in the Tubes. 25 to 35% of cases of infertility are due to tubal blockages or infection of tubes and endometriosis.

Cervical Factor –

Ineffective sperm penetration occurs due to cervicitis.

Uterine Factor –

Uterus provides a fetal bed. Uterine factor includes opposing endometrium for nidation. Endometritis, Uterine fibroid, Uterine malformation are also some other causes of infertility.
