Role of Ashvatha Phala Churna And Shveta Palandu Swarasa Bhavita Yavani in the Management of Ksheena Shukra (Oligozoospermia) after Shodhana Therapy - Clinical Study

Almost 30% of cases of infertility will have a male factor attached to it, though in the society there are many misconceptions and wrong ideas regarding the cause and occurrence of infertility in men. A low sperm count is in no way related to weakness or one being abnormal, hence the semen count needs to be assessed and the cause for it being low should be determined as timely treatment can not only prevent it from falling further but counts may improve. Aims & Objectives: To compare the clinical efficacy of Ashvatha Phala Churna and Shveta Palandu Swarasa Bhavita Yavani Vati after performing Virechana Karma on Ksheena Shukra (Oligozoospermia). Materials and methods: For the clinical study, 40 male patients complaining of symptoms and features of oligozoospermia or suffering from primary or secondary infertility for more than one year and having sperm count less than 15 million/ml were selected irrespective of religion, caste. Before administrating of Shveta Palandu Swarasa Bhavita Yavani Vati and Ashwatha Phala Churna, Virechana procedure was carried out. Result and discussion: Analysis of generated data showed that in Group A (Ashwattha Phala Churna) 19 patients were treated with Ashvatha Phala Churna 3gm twice a day with warm milk and Sharkara for 60 days after performing of Virechana Karma provided increase in Sperm count of 59.78 %, 16.18% decrease in Abnormal forms, and increase in Semen volume by 36.81%. In Group B (Shveta Palandu Swarasa Bhavita Yavani Vati); 19 patients were treated with 4 Vati twice a day with Goghrita for 60 days. Provided increase in sperm count (65%), and abnormal form of sperm (20.74%) decrease .Conclusion: Both the trial drugs Ashwattha Phala Churna and Shveta Palandu Swarasa Bhavita Yavani Vati have definite role in the management of Ksheena Shukra when administered after Virechana Karma, But Shveta Palandu Swarasa Bhavita Yavani Vati is comparatively better than Ashwattha Phala Churna.
