Effect of Virechana Karma on Beeja Dushti (Anovulation) Janya Vandhyatva : A Case Study

Introduction: The most common causes of female infertility are anovulatory problems that manifest themselves by irregular, sparse or absent menstrual periods. Beeja is considered as one of the four important factors essential for conception. The present study was done to evaluate the efficacy of Virechana Karma on Beeja Dushti (anovulation) Janya Vandhyatva. Materials & Methods: A female subject, 27 years old, visited the Stri Rog Prasuti Tantra O.P.D of Rajiv Gandhi Post Graduate Ayurvedic College, Paprola, Himachal Pradesh with complaints of inability to conceive after 3 years of active married life associated with irregular menses which was characterized by cycle length of 45-50 days. The previous records of the patient revealed anovulation. The hysterosalpingography of the patient was normal. The semen analysis of the husband was normal. Virechana Karma was selected as purificatory measure in this case. Result & Discussion: After the Virechana Karma the patient conceived spontaneously. Vata is considered main factor for Vandhyatva. In this case the treatment is directed towards pacifying the vitiated Vata Dosha. Virechana leads to Beeja Karmukta. Also the vitiated Artava Dhatu was pacified by correcting the Jatharagni and Dhatvagni. There were no adverse effects observed during the treatment
