Comparative Study of Yognidra and Antioxidant’s Effects on The Quality of Semen in Subfertile Male Patients Undergoing in vitro Fertilization

In modern times, stress plays a significant role in male infertility by disrupting hormonal balance and increasing oxidative stress (OS), which impairs sperm quality. While antioxidants help to reduce the OS and also yoga in the forms of asanas, pranayamas and mediation have proven their impact on psychological factors and stress. However, there are limited evidences which link the effect of Yognidra on male infertility by affecting stress. The research study is the comparison between Yognidra and antioxidants in improving the quality of semen and potentially enhancing reproductive outcome. The aim of the study was to evaluate, analyze, and compare the effectiveness of Yognidra and antioxidant therapy on semen quality parameters, mainly on sperm concentration, motility, and morphology in subfertile male patients undergoing IVF treatment. In this study, sixty subfertile patients visiting the infertility clinic at test tube baby center participated. The patients were divided into two groups of Group A with (30 subjects) antioxidants and Group B as Yognidra (30 subjects). Assessment and comparison of semen quality of both the groups before and after intervention were analyzed and compared. The results of the study showed both interventions produced significant improvement in sperm concentration (Group A and B: P <0.0001 for sperm concentration and motility, with minimal change in morphology ( P > 0.05). This strongly suggests that antioxidants and Yognidra can improve reproductive outcome. The present study strongly suggests that antioxidants and Yognidra can be used as an effective intervention and complementary therapy in the infertile couple presenting with altered semen parameters.
