For many couples, the most frustrating diagnosis is “unexplained infertility.” Despite normal medical reports — healthy sperm count, open fallopian tubes, regular ovulation — conception does not happen. In India, thousands of couples face this condition, leading to emotional distress and unanswered questions.
Ayurveda looks beyond standard lab reports and identifies subtle imbalances that modern medicine may overlook. With its holistic approach, Ayurveda addresses the mind, body, and spirit to restore fertility naturally.
What is Unexplained Infertility?
In modern terms, unexplained infertility is when couples fail to conceive after 12 months of regular, unprotected intercourse, even though no medical abnormalities are detected.
In Ayurveda, infertility (Vandhyatva) is rarely “unexplained.” Ancient texts describe multiple subtle factors affecting conception, and even a slight disturbance in these can hinder pregnancy.
Ayurvedic Factors Behind Unexplained Infertility
1. Beeja Dushti (Defect in Gametes)
- Subtle weakness in sperm or ovum not visible in lab tests.
- Ayurveda emphasizes improving quality, not just quantity.
2. Agnimandya (Weak Digestive Fire)
- Poor digestion leads to Ama (toxins) that block reproductive channels.
- Affects nourishment of Ras Dhatu & Shukra Dhatu.
3. Vata Imbalance
- Disturbs ovum pickup, sperm transport, and implantation process.
4. Manas (Mind) Factors
- Stress, anxiety, and emotional instability interfere with conception.
5. Ritu (Timing)
- Improper understanding of fertile window may delay conception.
