Abstract
Oligo-teratozoospermia is a condition affecting the normal sperm count and morphology leading to male factor infertility, majorly resulting due to improper lifestyle adaptations. In Ayurveda literature, the condition is well elaborated as Ksheenashukra having specified treatment modalities. This paper presents a case of infertile couple where in the male was diagnosed with Oligo-teratozoospermia, and was advised for ART due to teratogenecity. The patient approached Ayurveda fertility centre and was subjected to Ayurveda treatment with initial counseling, followed by Shodhana chikitsa and 2 courses of Vajikarana aushadhi prayoga. Within 3 months, the outcome resulted from Oligo-teratozoospermia to normozoospermia and the partner conceived within 2 cycles. The female experienced a safe and healthy antenatal phase and the couple was blessed with a baby boy.
