The need to have children is of great priority in families hence treatment of infertility has become a global concern. The couple not able to reproduce, experiences the feeling of frustration and disappointment which increase oxidative stress level thereby worsening the condition. Rutu, Kshetra, Ambu and Bija these are the four things which are necessary for the normal pregnancy. Bija means both male and female fertility factors i.e., Sukra and Artava respectively. In Ayurvedic classics eight types of Sukradosha are enumerated. This classification is based upon two methods,first one is based upon involvement of Doshas of shukra,Tanu,Alpa, Ruksh, Phenil etc.and next is based upon involvement of Doshas in shukra e.g. Vataj, Pittaj,shleshmaja, shukradusti etc. Shukra is described as Seventh dhatu in our classics. Among the Seven Dhatus, Shukra Dhatu is considered as important one. Shuddha Shukra is one of the most necessary factors for the healthy progeny. Shukradushti caused by vitiation of Vata pitta dosha and becomes diminished state of quality and quantity of Shukra dathu. Oligoasthenoteratozoospermia (OAT) is a condition in which the semen sample has Oligozoospermia, which is low sperm count, Asthenozoospermia, which is poor motility and teratozoospermia, which is abnormal morphology of sperm. Nowadays Oligoasthenoteratozoospermia is the most common condition in both developing and developed countries. Here explained the successful case study of shukradushti of using ayurvedic formulation.
