A Clinical study on the efficacy of Udvartana and Nasya on Ovulatory functions w.s.r. to Female infertility in Moderate Obese (Sthula) individuals

Childlessness and infertility are rising dramatically in cities. The increase may be due to many reasons like the way of living, coping with stress, job pressure, obesity, postponing parenthood, galloping urbanization, sexually transmitted infections and many others. Hence treating infertility is the challenging job for the doctors in present era. The failure to ovulate is the major problem in approximately 40% cases of female infertility. This can be anovulation or severe oligo ovulation. In the latter case even though the ovulation does occur, its relative infrequency decreases the womanand#39;s chance of pregnancy. Hence the infertility and especially ovarian factor induced female infertility needs an immediate attention from alternative medicines. Over last decades, fertility therapy has expanded more than any other field of medicine. Hormonal therapy, In vitro Fertilization (IVF), Embryo Transfer (ET), Gamete Intra Fallopian Transfer (GIFT) etc., all these have a minimal success rate. Additionally these procedures are associated with adverse effects andamp; are not affordable to all. Ayurveda may give a promising hand to cure this condition with the various treatment modalities mentioned in the classics. For the present clinical study, an effort was made to study the efficacy of Udvartana and Nasya followed by Shamanaushadhis in reversing the pathology of this disease and giving a “Never-Ending Joy” of parenthood to the couples through the Ayurvedic treatment.
