ABSTRACT

Female infertility is the major disorder which has altered the mankind for lack of conception and reproductively. Stressful work, excess radiation, lack of biological food, genetic disorder, changing life style, have result the female infertility. The term Infertility is described as failure to conceive within one or more year of regular unprotected coitus. Primary Infertility denotes those patients who have never conceived. Conception depends on the fertility potential of both female and male partners. Female is directly responsible in about 40- 55%, male in about 30-40% and both are responsible in about 10% cases and remaining 10% is unexplained. According to Ayurveda term Infertility can be correlated with Bandhyatava. In some cases, there is no specific cause. Inspite of normal anatomy, conception does not occur due to Balakshaya and Dhatukshaya. In such cases Balavardhaka and Bruhana Dravyas are to be given mentioned in Ayurvedic texts. Sharangdhar described Abhyantarpan of Phalaghrita for conception. Hence a case study was done in Stree rog and Prasuti Tantra OPD of Rishikul Government Ayurved hospital, Haridwar. A 25 year female having no specific causes of primary infertility was treated with Abhyantarpana of Phalaghrita on OPD basis.
