Ayurveda emphasized on four main essential factors for fertility i.e. Ritu(menstruation),Kshetra(functioning reproductive organs),Ambu(Digestive juices) and Bija(Healthy sperm and ovum) .Abnormality in any one of this factors causes infertility.Infertility is a failure to conceive within one or more years of regular unprotected coitus.Primary infertility denotes who has never conceived and secondary indicates previous pregnancy but failure to conceive subsequently. Secondary Infertilily with recurrent pregnancy loss because of Viral infections like TORCH is a worrisome issue for the reproductive couple.Majority of early missed abortions and spontaneous abortion are seen in current population of country.Toxoplasmosis,cytomegaly virus,rubella and herpes simplex viruses are responsible for manifestation of the maternal infections causing early pregnancy loss.According to Ayurveda recurrent pregnancy loss is specified under Putraghni yonivyapad and specific treatment like Uttarbasti is described for the same. As yoniyapada leads to infertility because of vikrit Vata ,ultimately the treatment of Vata i.e. bastichikitsa is seen very beneficial in the treatment of Infertility.

The Impact

Male infertility is linked to some viral infections including human papillomavirus (HPV), herpes simplex viruses (HSV) and human immunodeficiency viruses (HIVs). As for acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS‐CoV‐2), its effects on worldwide declines in sperm count and fertility have not been researched thoroughly. With the recent increase of viral infections due to the pandemic, the potential negative impacts that SARS-CoV-2 will have on male reproductive organs and male fertility have raised countless concerns. This review article aims to discuss the possible effects that the SARS-CoV-2 pandemic will have on an already declining male reproductive success while integrating the results of recent studies focusing on similar topics. Furthermore, this article will also mention the future implications that come with a more infertile population. Within the articles studied, it has become apparent that the SARS-CoV-2 pandemic has and will only decrease men’s sperm quality further. These findings became apparent through the study of oxidative stress established through the sperm’s production of reactive oxygen species1 and the COVID-19 virus’ ability to attack human spermatozoa produced in the testes due the expression of the ACE2 gene.2 As for the decline in male fertility prior to the SARS-CoV-2 pandemic, there are many factors to be discussed, some of which include: tobacco consumption, alcoholism, diet, electronics, and higher rates of testicular cancer.3

Infections caused by herpes simplex viruses have been recognized since ancient Roman times, when Herodotus associated mouth ulcers and lip vesicles with fever. However, neonatal herpes simplex infection was not identified as a distinct disease until centuries later. Only 50 years ago, the first written descriptions of neonatal herpes were attributed nearly simultaneously to Hass, who described the histopathologic findings in a fatal case, and to Batingani who described a newborn child with herpes simplex virus (HSV) keratitis. For several decades our understanding of neonatal infections with herpes simplex virus was predicated upon histopathologic descriptions of the disease. These indicated a broad spectrum of involvement in infants. In the mid-1960s, Nahmias and Dowdle demonstrated two antigenic types of herpes simplex virus, HSV-1 and HSV-2. Recognition of these types prompted a rapid series of developments leading to a better characterization of the biochemical and molecular characteristics of the virus. One consequence of these advances has been the development of methods of typing of viruses which have been utilized to define the epidemiology of HSV infections. Herpes simplex viral infections "above-the-belt," primarily of the lip and oropharynx, have been found in most cases to be associated with HSV-1, whereas infections "below-the-belt" are usually caused by HSV-2.

Pregnancy loss at any stage is distressing especially when this happens later in pregnancy, and this further worsens when it recurs in subsequent pregnancies. The reasons for recurrent pregnancy loss and preterm delivery are diverse and multifactorial. One of the main reasons for these complications is cervical insufciency, which means the inability of the uterine cervix to retain a pregnancy in the absence of signs and symptoms of clinical contractions, or labor or both in second trimester. Rescue cervical cerclage also known as Emergency cerclage/ rescue stitch is fundamentally a salvage procedure to prolong pregnancy in women with advanced cervical dilatation or prolapsed membranes in the second +3 trimester. Here, we present a case study of a 25-year-old antenatal woman Gravida 4 Para 0 with advanced cervical changes at 20 weeks who beneted from the rescue cervical cerclage procedure to have a successful pregnancy outcome.

Background: A married Hindu female patient of 37 years of age visited to OPD of National institute of Ayurveda, Jaipur on 19 April 2019 with chief complaint of recurrent pregnancy loss since 7 years. Methodology: Patient was interrogated for detailed history about her chief as well as associated complaints. Following detailed history neces- sary physical examinations and laboratory investigations were carried out to rule out the aetiology. Her TORCH test IgG and IgM antibodies was carried out and she was found to have Rubella IgG, Cytomegalovirus IgG, and HSV IgG antibodies positive. Other investigations including TFT, PRL, USG scan was found to be normal. Based on the complaints diagnosis made was Putraghani Yonivyapada (Recurrent pregnancy loss or Habitual abortion). Treatment plan was laid out accordingly on the basis of complaints and etiological factors. She managed to conceive 6 months after the treatment. She was given proper antenatal care with all necessary examinations and advices. Result: She delivered a healthy male baby on 20th July 2020 without any event during her antenatal, perinatal and postnatal period.

Recurrent pregnancy loss is defined as three or more consecutive spontaneous losses of pregnancy. In Ayurvedic samhita “GarbhastraviVandhya” is a term for recurrent habitual abortion in the first trimester and “Garbhapata” in second trimester up to 20 weeks from the last menstrual period. Spontaneous pregnancy loss is a surprisingly common occurrence and affects 1% of couples trying to conceive. The best available data suggest that the risk of miscarriage in subsequent pregnancies is 30% after 2 losses, compared with 33% after 3 losses.1 In this case study, interpretation of cause is done on basics of Ayurvedic diagnostic parameters and management is done according to that.  Deepan, pachan, panchakarma specially Uttar vasti were planned before conception and after conception complete bed rest along with proper antenatal medicines and advices were given. There was uneventful antenatal period except foetal distress at 39.5 weeks of gestation and the patient was delivered by emergency caesarean section. A female baby with 3.1 kg birth weight was born.

Homocysteine is an enzyme encoded by MTHFR (methylenetetrahydrofolate reductase) gene located on chromosome 1. Mutations in MTHFR gene may result in the afflicted metabolism of homocysteine and thus might increase the risk of recurrent miscarriages. In some cases, recurrent pregnancy loss could be prevented by prescribing folic acid and B group vitamin supplements. The demand of MTHFR gene sequencing for variations is commonly overlooked by doctors or genetic counsellors. To highlight this problem we present a case study of recurrent miscarriages in a patient with a homozygous c. 655C>T variation in MTHFR gene. Moreover, we discuss the need of molecular genetic testing for MTHFR gene variations in patients with recurrent miscarriages and the treatment of hyperhomocysteinemia.
