Study Overview
Brief Summary
Currently, the treatment available for male infertility remains extremely limited. Only
specific conditions—such as surgically repairable varicoceles or hormone-treatable
Hypogonadotropic hypogonadism has established therapies. Consequently, around
90% of infertile men receive no direct treatment despite being the primary cause.
Instead, clinical interventions typically target their female partners. This approach imposes substantial financial costs and subjects
women to multiple procedural risks.
In classics, there is reference for treatment of ksheena shukra with vajikarna dravyas. Various Vrushya, Shukrala formulations are available and clinically practised. So, this study aims at exploring the easily available
unexplored Vajikarana formulation and evaluate its efficacy in ksheena shukra wsrt
oligospermia.
In RCT, Ashwagandha churna was found to be significant in increasing Sperm count. We are testing the efficacy of Shwadamstradi yoga over Ashwagandha chruna in increasing sperm count
