Infertility, characterized as the failure to conceive after at least 12 months of consistent, unprotected sexual activity, impacts approximately 8–12% of couples globally. Male infertility represents a major health issue worldwide, with oligo-asthenozoospermia being among the most common clinical presentations. Male-related factors account for nearly half of all infertility cases, with oligo-asthenozoospermia - a condition characterized by reduced sperm count and motility - being a common diagnosis. While conventional treatments exist, they often have limitations, including cost, side effects, and lack of personalized care. Ayurveda and Yoga offer holistic, non-invasive alternatives targeting the root causes of male infertility. This case study highlights the clinical efficacy of an integrative regimen incorporating Ayurvedic treatments and Yogic practices for Shukrashaya (oligo-asthenozoospermia), rooted in traditional Ayurvedic concepts and substantiated through modern semen analysis. Post treatment Result of semen analysis showed a rise in sperm count from 90 million/ml to 106 million/ml and an improvement in total motility from 70% to 86%, with progressive motility increasing from 40% to 50%. The integrative approach demonstrated effectiveness in balancing Vata and Pitta doshas, enhancing Shukra Dhatu, and reducing stress through HPG axis modulation.
