A randomised Open -Label Controlled Clinical Study to Evaluate The Efficacy of Masya Paayasa in the Management of Ksheen Shukra with special Reference to Oligospermia

Infertility is defined as the failure of a couple to achieve a clinical pregnancy with regular unprotected  sexual intercourse after 12 months or more. Low sperm count  (oligospermia ) is one of the main causes of male infertility and is correlated with  ksheena shukra .  Dushti of shukravaha srotas  , decreases the production of shukra dhatu leads to ksheena shukra. Ayurveda also explained in detail about infertility, its cause’s pathophysiology, and treatment under the umbrella of Vajikarana Aphrodisiac, one of the branches of Ayurveda. In Ayurveda various terms related to infertility are explained like Klaibya, Napunsaka, and Shanda which are indicative of impotency and the conditions like Shukra Dosha, Shukra Doshja Klaibya, Alparetasa, and Kshinaretasa can be related terms with infertility
