Abstract

Most authorities define patients as infertile if they have been unable to achieve a pregnancy after one year of unprotected intercourse. The fact is, among 60% of all couples experiencing infertility, a male factor is involved. In approximately 40 % of cases in the male alone and in another 20% both male and female are abnormal. Oligozoospermia refers to semen with a low concentration of sperm and is a common finding in male infertility. There is no possibility of such recurrence by Virechana Procedure. In addition, it is said that Virechana enhances the quality level of Shukra (Semen). For the clinical study, 40 male patients suffering from the primary or secondary infertility for more than one year and having sperm count less than 15 million/ml were selected irrespective of religion, caste and the status of seminal parameters was compared before and after Virechana procedure. Statistical analysis of the obtained data revealed that performing of Virechana provided increase 8.68 million/ml which was increased to 26.53 million /ml after completion of Virechana procedure with 72.50% increase in total which was statistically highly significant. Abnormal form of sperm decreased by 20.74% and the 24.08% increase in serum LH level was reported which was also statistically highly significant. This indicates that performing of Virechana alone can provide significant increase in total sperm count.
