Journal Title: International Research Journal of Pharmacy (IRJP) - Year 2015, Vol 6, Issue 1
Abstract
The most disappointing feeling for a woman is, if she could not be a mother. The present day’s life style of women is very stress full, unhealthy and unhygienic due to unawareness, hectic and fast running schedule. Vandhyatva (infertility) is the failure to conceive within one or two years of regular unprotected coitus. According to Ayurveda that four factors are responsible for healthy conception, these are Ritu (appropriate time), Kshetra (healthy uterus and passage), Ambu (proper nutrition of mother) and Beeja (healthy ovum and sperm). Abnormality in any of these factors leads to Vandhyatva (infertility). Only a Shuddha Yoni (vaginal passage) and Garbhashaya (uterus) can conceive properly. Diseased Yoni may leads to habitual abortion or infertility. Out of pathological causes of Infertility in female cervical factors such as cervicitis, cervical erosion etc. is one of the important reasons. Uttarbasti (insertion of medicated oil or decoction through vagina in Uterus), after Shodhan, is indicated as the line of treatment of Kshetra (uterus etc). In Yoniyapada (Gynecological problems), Artava-nasha (secondary Amenorrhea), Artavadosha (menstrual disorders) etc. indication of Uttarabasti are mentioned in Ayurvedic classics. Vata dosha is the prime cause of Yonivyapada and Uttarbasti has Vatashamak as well as Ropan and Shodhana property, so Uttarbasti may be the best line of treatment of Vandhyatva.
