Can Ayurveda Enhance Male Fertility?

Our society has a deep-rooted stigma of always raising the question of the female counterpart when a couple faces infertility issues in life. But how often do we keep a check on the reproductive health of the male counterpart? 

As per research studies, in infertile couples, one-third of the infertility issues are caused due to the male’s reproductive health issue, the other one-third by the female’s reproductive health issue, and one-third by the infertility issue faced by both or unknown factors. Hence the chances are equal. According to Dr. Prathmesh Vyas, our society totally neglects the male infertility possibility and always assumes it is the female who is infertile when a couple cannot conceive. One must understand the importance of health and good quality seeds in farming and the same reflects here. Men should be more mindful of their lifestyle and diet choices while keeping a curb on the stress level.

The ayurvedic understanding of male infertility is classified into three, congenital problems, sperm abnormalities, and loss of libido. The key culprit behind the rise in the number of infertility cases is the unwanted guest we all have in our lives, stress. Other physical and environmental conditions also play a major role in causing infertility in men.

• Defects in the structure of veins in the male reproductive part affect the blood flow causing trouble in an erection. 

• Antibodies in our body are generated to safeguard us from harmful foreign bacteria and viruses. But sometimes these antibodies mistake the sperm as harmful to the body and attack it. This results in reduced sperm count.

• Hormonal imbalance is another major reason for infertility in men. Disorder in the testicles, hypothalamus, pituitary, thyroid or adrenal gland can cause this imbalance.  

Other environmental conditions such as regular exposure to toxic chemicals, radiation, and heat. Lifestyle habits such as regular smoking, alcohol consumption, abuse of drugs, and poor weight management can also lead to severe infertility issues.

While low facial energy, irregularity in ejaculation, swelling, or pain in the testicles are indicators of infertility disorders. In-depth testing is required to confirm and pinpoint the root of the cause.

Hormone testing is one of the initial examinations conducted in order to understand the issue, as hormones have an integral role in sexual organ development and sperm production.

Ultrasound is an option to look into the structural support and the veins around the testicles.
