Vd. Prashant Dhote* and Vd. Rahul Kathwate

ABSTRACT

Infertility is the global problem of presenting era. It is due to changed life style in urban India i.e. late marriage, professional and social stress on young couples, irregular working hours, sedentary lifestyle, genetic disorders etc. Infertility produces negative impact on person's life and society also. It reduces quality of life especially through the negative psychosocial consequences like marital instability, anxiety, depression, social isolation, deprivation, and loss of social status, loss of gender identity, ostracism and abuse. As we know that the male infertility disorders do not occur without vitiation of Vata. Vata Dosha is the governing factor of the whole reproductive physiology. Vandhyatva has also been described in eighty types of VataVyadhi. The reasons for Vata vitiation are Srotorodha, Avarana, Dhatukshaya, they may be the major in the pathogenesis of Vandhyatva. There is none other than Vata which is the most important causative factor of diseases in Shakha, Koshtha, Marma, Urdhvagata, Sarvayava and Sarvanga. When it is exceedingly aggravated there is no remedy other than the Basti for its alleviation. That's why Basti is glorified as Ardha Chikitsa by Acharya Charaka and Complete Chikitsa by some other Acharyas.
