Journal Title: European Journal of Biomedical and Pharmaceutical Sciences - Year 2018, Vol 5, Issue 9
Abstract
Infertility implies apparent failure of a couple to conceive. If a couple fails to achieve pregnancy after one year of unprotected and regular intercourse, it is an indication to investigate the couple. This is based on the observation that 80% of normal couples achieve conception within a year. Currently it is one of the burning issues worldwide due to improper diet, weight, smoking, lifestyle, environmental pollutants, infection, medication, family medical history which might have an effect on conception in couples. Infertility is not a disease but a social stigma especially in Indian society. It affects the couple both socially as well as psychologically. In Ayurvedic literature, infertility is co- related with vandhyatva. The important factors for conception are ritu, kshetra, ambu and beeja. These factors should be in proper state to achieve the conception. Both the shodhana and shamana chikitsa including panchakarma is mentioned for infertility in ayurvedic texts. This article explains ayurvedic concept of vandhyatva and its treatment.
