Why Men Must Also Get Tested for Infertility
In many Indian households, when a couple is unable to conceive, the focus almost always shifts to the woman. She is blamed, questioned, and made to undergo multiple tests. But here’s the truth: Male factors contribute to 40–50% of all infertility cases.
Yes, male infertility is real — and common.
What is Male Infertility?
Male infertility means inability to cause pregnancy in a fertile female partner, due to issues like:
- Low sperm count
- Poor sperm motility (movement)
- Abnormal sperm shape
- Hormonal imbalance
- Erectile dysfunction or premature ejaculation
Common Causes (According to Ayurveda & Modern Science)
- Excessive heat, tight clothing, sedentary lifestyle
- Stress, anxiety, overthinking
- Alcohol, smoking, tobacco
- Excessive masturbation or suppression of sexual urges
- Nutritional deficiencies
- Viruddha Ahaar (wrong food combinations)
- Weak Agni and formation of Ama (toxins)
- Loss of vitality due to overexertion or night shifts
Ayurveda says that weak Shukra Dhatu leads to low-quality sperm and poor reproductive strength.
Ayurvedic View on Male Fertility
Ayurveda believes in strengthening the Shukra Dhatu through proper digestion, nourishment, and detox.
It emphasizes:
- Vajikarana Chikitsa – to improve sexual strength
- Rasayana Chikitsa – to regenerate Shukra Dhatu
- Mental well-being – as mind and hormones are deeply connected
Why Testing is Important for Men
- Saves time and emotional strain on female partner
- Identifies treatable issues early
- Enables proper treatment planning
- Improves success rates with natural therapies
Getting tested is not a sign of weakness — it’s a responsible, scientific step toward parenthood.
Ayurvedic Male Fertility treatment Includes:
- Panchakarma for detox (Basti, Virechana)
- Medicines to improve Shukra Dhatu quality
- Stress management, diet correction, yoga
- Rejuvenation therapies (Rasayana)
Final Word
It’s time to break the stigma. If you’re planning a child and things aren’t working out, don’t ignore the male side of the story. Ayurveda offers safe, effective solutions that restore reproductive health from the roots.
