Brief Summary  
  • Male infertility is a major health problem across the world. One of the main reasons for male infertility is extreme low sperm count which affect the ability to conceive. Oligospermia is a condition wherein sperm count is less than 15 million/ml and is multifactorial in origin, such as unhealthy lifestyle, lack of physical activity, high pressure jobs, poor diet, alcoholism, smoking and tobacco chewing.
  • In India nearly 50% of infertility is related to the reproductive anomalies or disorders in the male of which 90% are related to oligospermia.
  • Oligospermia can be correlated with Ksheena Shukra. In Ksheena Shukra Vata and Pitta Dosha undergo vitiation and disturb the normal physiology of Shukra Dhatu. Vrushya Chikitsa like Dhatu Upachaya (Shukra Janana) is beneficial. The Vrushya/Rasayana Dravyas having properties like Madhura, Tikta, Snigdha & Guru should be administered.
  • Hence Narasimha Churna mentioned in Bhaishajya Ratanavali is selected as trial drug and compare its effect with Gokshuradi Churna in the management of Ksheena shukra (Oligospermia) The study is a Randomised controlled clinical trial. 40 patients of Oligospermia will be selected incidentally and randomly assigned into two groups; Group ‘A’ and ‘B’ by software generated chart. Group A patients will be given Narasimha Churna and Group B will be Gokshuradi Churna respectively.
  • Total Study duration will be 60 days and contain 4 visits (0th day, 15th day,31st day, 60th day.), which includes administration of trial drug for 30 days and post medication follow up on 60th day. After study, data will be collected from case report form (CRF) and statistically analysed by using appropriate parametric and non-parametric tests and results will be obtained. On that basis results, conclusion will be drawn.
