ABSTRACT

Procreation is an important desire of human beings. The inability to conceive within one year of unprotected coitus is termed as infertility. Among couples across the globe, infertility accounts to about 15%. Out of the many factors that are responsible for infertility in women, fallopian tube abnormalities or blockages account to approximately 30%. The fallopian tubes are an important part of the female reproductive system which play a pivotal role in the union of sperm and ovum. Any structural or functional abnormality in one or both fallopian tubes can cause infertility in women. Cases with unilateral tubal blockage have 50 percent reduced chances of natural conception. Whereas, in women with bilateral tubal blockage, natural conception is considered to be nearly impossible and these patients are advised treatments like in vitro fertilization. The present case is of a 32-years old female patient, with unilateral tubal block, uterine fibroid and anovulatory menstrual cycles trying to conceive naturally for eight years post-marriage. Her treating gynaecologist had suggested her in vitro fertilization, but due to financial crisis and unwillingness for the procedure, she opted for Ayurveda treatment. Since menarche, her menstrual cycle has been regular with moderate blood flow. She was thoroughly examined and was diagnosed as a case of infertility due to tubal blockage associated with fibroid and anovulatory cycles. In order to boost all the fertility factors, she was prescribed a non-hormonal Ayurvedic proprietary formulation ‘Jeehv’ manufactured and marketed by Gynoveda Pvt. Ltd. in a dose of 1g twice a day after food for six months along with Gynoveda?s Iron and folic acid tablets in a dose of 250mg once a day before breakfast. Jeehv consists of Ayurvedic herbs like Putranjeevak, Shivlingi, Shatavari, etc. which are known to boost all the factors which determine fertility. The patient complied with the suggested treatment protocol and in the sixth month, she conceived naturally. The conception was confirmed on ultrasound. She gave birth to a healthy baby in May 2023 through vaginal delivery.
