ABSTRACT
Introduction: In present era, infertility is becoming a big issue because of the diminishing rates of
fecundability and fertility. Infertility a multifactorial disorder is a major contributor to emotional
disturbances and reduced quality of life. Vandhyatwa is failure to achieve pregnancy. Four key
components of Garbha are identified in Ayurveda: Ritu, Kshetra, Ambu, and Beeja. Abeejatava, the
reduction in both the quantity and quality of ovum, can be considered as anovulation. Anovulation is
the cause of infertility in about a third of couples attending infertility clinics and polycystic ovary
syndrome accounts for 90 % of such cases. Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome (PCOS) is a common
endocrine disorder affecting reproductive-aged women, characterized by hormonal imbalance, irregular
menstrual cycles, and often, the presence of cysts on the ovaries. It is a significant cause of infertility
due to multiple factors. Worldwide interest in Ayurveda is growing due to its potential in treating
anovulation and PCOS related infertility.
