Dr. Radha Anil Dabhade*, Dr. Vipul Kanani and Dr Manisha Deokate

ABSTRACT

Ayurved emphasizes four main essential factors for fertility: Rutu (fertile period), Kshetra (uterus and reproductive
organs), Ambu (proper nutrient food), Beej (healthy sperm and ovum) along with normalcy of Hridaya
(psychology). Abnormality in any one of these factors causes infertility. Patients with uterus unicornis are
generally associated with poor obstetric history and infertility.[1] According to ayurved, it may correlate with
Apraja Vandhya.[2] The causes may be uterine malformations, fibroids, cervical anatomical defects, defects of
umbilical cord or placenta.[3] In this case study, a 28-year-old patient who was anxious to conceive after two years
of regular and satisfactory marital relations sought ayurvedic management for dysmennorhoea and infertility. All
necessary investigations were conducted. According to the investigations, the patient has a unicornuate uterus with
dimensions 5.5*2.3*3.3 cm, a thin endometrium 7.6 mm, a left rudimentary ovary, a right bulky polycystic ovary
and an absent left fallopian tube. After proper oral treatment like yashti kashmari kalp with falghrita and
sahacharadi Tail Uttarbasti, the patient conceived.
