Infertility affects millions of couples in India, and in nearly 40% of cases, male factors are responsible. Yet, the topic is rarely discussed openly due to social stigma. Ayurveda, with its deep understanding of reproductive health, offers holistic and side-effect-free solutions that address the root cause — not just the symptoms.
Understanding Male Infertility in Ayurveda
In Ayurveda, male fertility is directly linked to the health of Shukra Dhatu (reproductive tissue) and Ras Dhatu (nutritional plasma). Any weakness, imbalance, or obstruction in these dhatus can impact sperm quality, quantity, and motility, ultimately affecting conception.
Common Causes of Male Infertility
1. Low Sperm Count (Oligospermia)
Often caused by poor nutrition, heat exposure, stress, and addictions.
Ayurvedic View: Weak Shukra Dhatu due to improper diet, excessive sexual activity, or chronic illness.
2. Poor Sperm Motility (Asthenozoospermia)
Sperms fail to move effectively, reducing chances of fertilization.
Ayurvedic View: Imbalance in Vata dosha affecting sperm vitality.
3. Abnormal Sperm Morphology (Teratozoospermia)
Irregular-shaped sperms affecting fertilization capacity.
Ayurvedic View: Defective Shukra Dhatu formation due to poor Ras Dhatu quality.
4. Hormonal Imbalance
Low testosterone, thyroid disorders, or pituitary issues.
Ayurvedic View: Imbalance in all three doshas affecting hormonal regulation.
5. Varicocele
Enlargement of veins in the scrotum leading to heat build-up.
Ayurvedic View: Pitta aggravation leading to increased temperature and poor sperm health.
6. Lifestyle & Environmental Factors
Alcohol, smoking, obesity, high-stress jobs, excessive laptop/mobile use on the lap.
