Ayurvedic Understanding of Vandhyatva (Infertility) and Its Management - A Review

Abstract

Infertility is encountered as a stressful condition by couples worldwide, impacting not just their physical and mental well-being but also placing financial strain on them. These days, a variety of variables, such as stress, pollution, a bad diet, and a sedentary lifestyle, impair both men's and women's fertility. In spite of years of trying, one in seven couple gets difficulties in conceiving. The reason for this is a combination of social, emotional and physiologic factors. About 25% of events might not be fully understood. Population growth and fertility rates have been progressively dropping throughout. Ayurvedic management provides a promising, cost-effective avenue for addressing infertility disorders and enhances the success rates of in vitro fertilization (IVF), especially after previous unsuccessful attempts. Present paper aims to throw some light on the concept of infertility as per the concepts of Ayurveda.
