Infertility related to tubal factor and its management in Ayurveda

Infertility is defined as a failure to conceive with in one or more year of regular and unprotected coitus. Many causes are responsible for female infertility in which 30- 40% case are related with tubal blockage.[1] Fallopian tubes are very important structure of Artavavaha Srotas as they carry Bija Rupi Artava. Bija undergoes fertilization process within the fallopian tube. Due to tubal blockage Bija and Shukra are not able to meet in fallopian tube and it hampers process of fertilization and female does not able to conceive. Ayurveda has been successful in treating infertility since several thousand years. If we emphasize on tubal blockage according to Ayurvedic aspects we find that it occurs due to Vatakapha dominated Tridoshaj condition as Vata is responsible for Samkocha, Kapha for Shopha and Pitta for Paka. So, in Ayurvedic management we do local treatment in the form of Uttar Basti with certain drug which has property of Vatakaphanashaka and Tridoshaghna and it could remove the blockage by reaching up to the minute channels.
