Infertility is a common problem of present scenario. The predominant concern with population control in recent years has tended to over-shadow the importance of involuntary sterility as a medical issue. On an average about 10% of all couples face difficulty in starting a family and this creates a feeling of great personal failure, particularly in India where religious and socio-economic traditions have made it almost imperative for everyone to have children.

                                 One of the most common cause of male infertility is Oligozoospermia. The term Oligozoospermia is the presence of an abnormally low number of sperm in a semen sample. The diagnosis method consists of a semenogram which gives a sperm count per millimetre of semen. According to recent criteria of Semen Analysis generated by ICD10 N46.1 sperm count less than 20 million sperms/ml is an indication of Oligozoospermia.

                                In Modern medicine there are various medications used to treat Oligozoospermia including Clomiphene Citrate, Tomoxifen, Testosterone, Acetyle-L-Carnitine but they have their own limitations and side-effects.

                              There are several researches done to find a solution for this problem of today and many of them have proved successful too. Ayurveda provides best treatment to combat with this problem.

                            Oligozoospermia resembles Ksheen Shukra in Ayurvedic literature and Shiva Gutika consists of all the ingredients which directly work on Shukra Dhatu and helps in improving its quality and quantity.

                           In order to generate preliminary evidences about the efficacy of Shiva Gutika in the management of Oligozoospermia, a pre and post open clinical trial is proposed. Thirty eligible study subjects meeting inclusion criteria with baseline sperm count less than 20 million/ml analysed through Semen Analysis. In a single group of sample size of n= 30 will be administered 8 weeks(60 days) of Shiva Gutika tablets in the dose of 500mg twice daily with luke warm milk and the treatment will be concluded with post-test assessment on the 60^th day. 

                          Study subjects will be assessed before and after treatment for improvement, comparison and analysis will be done by using Student’s t- Test.
