Infertility is a medical condition that can result in various physical, emotional, mental, spiritual, and medical challenges for the patient. What sets this condition apart is its impact on both the individual experiencing it and their partner as a couple. The financial strain associated with assisted reproductive techniques (ART) and their less-than-ideal success rates can lead to marital stress, abandonment, a loss of social standing, and the added pain, discomfort, and expenses of treatment options. Panchakarma, particularly Uttarbasti, holds a significant role in addressing female infertility. Classic Ayurvedic texts have emphasized the efficacy of Uttarbasti for numerous urogenital disorders in both men and women, with infertility being a prominent concern. Adapting Ayurvedic procedures and medications to contemporary standards while maintaining core principles is crucial in our current era.
