Unhealthy lifestyle habits, various occupational hazards, and environmental toxins also play a trigger role in male infertility.

Ayurvedic Treatment for Male Infertility

Today male infertility is a growing concern due to an increase in stress, unhealthy lifestyle habits, hormonal imbalance, poor sperm quality, etc. There are various causes of male infertility, but the most prominent reasons are low sperm concentration, poor sperm motility, and abnormal sperm morphology.

Ayurveda focuses on enhancing the strength and vitality of the reproductive system by deep root treatment of the Shukra Dhatu, by correcting Dosha imbalance. For this Detoxification therapy (Panchkarma) along with the specific treatment that is Vajikarana Chikitsa is used. Various dietary modifications and lifestyle modifications are also done per person along with the use of herbs and rejuvenators to treat male infertility.

IAFA Ayurveda provides effective and confidential purificatory, Vajikarana therapies for the successful treatment of male infertility. Dr. Gupta's IAFA is the perfect destination for treating infertility of any type as well as other types of sexual disorders.

Detoxification Therapy (Shodhana Therapy) for Male Infertility

  • Purgation Therapy (Virechana) - Therapeutic purgation gives great results in male infertility especially when infertility is related to sperm abnormalities, hormonal imbalance, and Pitta Dosha is involved. Virechana done in male infertility patients with the help of various herbs helps to cleanse the blood, liver, and intestine which removes excess heat and toxins from the body, and improves metabolic function, and hormonal balance which ultimately affects sperm quality. Purgative therapy also helps to reduce psychological stress which may be an important hidden trigger or cause behind male infertility.
  • Medicated Enema Therapy (Basti) - In this process, medicated oil or decoctions are administered through the rectum route. Different types of enema therapies are done for male infertility like Yapana Basti, Tikta Ksheera Basti, Uttara Basti, etc. as per the patient. Basti or enema therapy gives the best results especially when Vata Dosha is involved and premature ejaculation, seminal debility, etc. are the causes behind infertility. In above mentioned enema therapy type Uttara Basti is highly effective in male infertility especially when suffering from disorders of the reproductive channels (Shukra Vaha Strotas Dushti) and specifically Apana Vayu is involved. Uttara Basti helps to cure various primary causes of male infertility like sperm debility (Shukra Kshaya), premature ejaculation, poor sperm quality, low sperm count, recurrent UTI, chronic prostatitis, urethral stricture affecting ejaculation, etc. It rejuvenates and nourishes seminal vesicles, prostrates, regulates ejaculation, and enhances sperm count, motility, sperm viscosity, etc.
  • Nasal Therapy / Intra Nasal instillation (Nasya) - Medicated oil or powder is administered through the nostril. In male infertility, Nasya aids in treating the underlying cause. It is specially done in stress-induced infertility where it acts on the hypothalamic-pituitary axis and gives excellent results in balancing hormones and thus helps in treating male infertility.
  • Pouring of Medicated Oil Over the Head (Shiro Dhara) - In this therapy, continuous medicated oil is poured over the forehead. It helps in reducing key causes or triggers infertility both in males and females i.e. anxiety and stress.
  • Vajikarana Therapy - Vajikarana therapy of Ayurveda is a combination of Andrology, Aphrodisiac therapy, hormonal balance, sexual wellness, mental support, etc. It is one of the eight branches of Ayurveda i.e. Ashtanga Ayurveda. The branch of Ayurveda that makes a man potent like a horse (Vaji) means it promotes sexual health and enhances reproductive strength, fertility, stamina, etc. This therapy helps in improving erectile function, enhances sexual desire (libido), nourishes Shukra Dhatu, increases vitality, and stamina, and helps in managing stress, depression, anxiety, and performance pressure, etc. which are the top causes of male infertility.

How is Vajikarana Therapy Done?

For Vajikarana therapy to give the best results, it is essential to first undergo internal purification through Panchakarma therapy. This preparatory step enhances the body's ability to absorb and respond to the herbs used for Vajikarana more effectively. When Vajikarana therapy is done after detox therapy, it acts as a complete rejuvenate therapy (Rasayana), which not only corrects the root cause behind infertility but revitalizes both body and mind. Various types of classical Ayurvedic formulations such as medicated ghee, herbal powders (Churna), and rejuvenating jams (Lehyam) are carefully used for 2 to 3 months, depending on the individual's condition and therapeutic needs to treat male infertility.
