Ayurvedic Treatment of Infertility in Kolkata

Fertility depends on several factors in both partners, including reproductive health, hormones, age, lifestyle and overall health.
Fertility concerns are becoming increasingly relevant in Kolkata. Recent reports indicate a nearly 20% rise in male infertility in the city over the past decade, with male factors contributing to around 35-40% of infertility cases.

The Ayurvedic Perspective

Ayurveda considers Shukra Dhatu and healthy reproductive function important for conception in men, while healthy Artava — menstrual and reproductive function — is essential in women. Conception itself is understood to depend on four factors coming together.

Poor digestion, stress, inadequate nutrition, an irregular lifestyle and Dosha imbalance may all affect reproductive health.

Ritu

The fertile period — timing that supports conception.

Kshetra

The reproductive system, or "field" that supports pregnancy.

Ambu

Nourishment — the fluids and nutrition sustaining conception.

Beeja

Egg and sperm quality are reproductive factors.

Symptoms

Fertility concerns can affect either partner. The signs below, alongside a broader Ayurvedic assessment, help build a fuller picture.
