Infertility and Siddha System of Medicine

WHAT IS INFERTILITY? Infertility is a condition not a disease affecting the reproductive system that prevents successful pregnancy. It is typically diagnosed after a couple has had 6 to 12 months of unprotected, well-timed intercourse.

TO GET PREGNANT:

  2. The egg must go through a Fallopian tube toward the uterus (womb)
  3. A man's sperm must join with (fertilize) the egg along the way in Fallopian tube
  4. The fertilized egg must attach to the inside of the uterus (implantation)
  5. Infertility can result from problems that interfere with any of these steps able to carry a pregnancy

CAUSES:

  1. Fallopian tube damage or blockage
  2. Endometriosis
  3. Ovulation disorder
  4. Elevated prolactin
  5. Poly-cystic ovary syndrome (PCOS)
  6. Early menopause
  7. Benign uterine fibroids
  8. Pelvic adhesion's, of other causes can lead to infertility

  2. Excessive caffeine intake

OTHER MEDICAL CONDITIONS: Cushing's disease, Thyroid problems, Cancer and its treatment, sickle cell disease, HIV/AIDS, kidney disease and diabetes can affect woman's infertility.

RISK OF INFERTILITY IN A WOMAN: Woman can also be affected by certain lifestyle and environmental factors, including (but not limited to):

HOW WILL DOCTORS FIND OUT? No matter how old you are, it's always a good idea to talk to a doctor before you start trying to get pregnant. Doctors can help you prepare your body for a healthy baby. They can also answer questions on fertility and give tips on conceiving. Doctors can find the cause of a couple's infertility by doing a complete fertility evaluation. This process usually begins with physical exams and health and sexual histories. If there are no obvious problems, like poorly timed intercourse or absence of ovulation, tests will be needed.

Finding the cause of infertility is often a long, complex and emotional process. It can take months for you and your doctor to complete all the needed exams and tests. So don't be alarmed if the problem is not found right away.

“Varaiyana karpathil malatupuzhu puhil Viraiyana viraithuvai undidu mael Karaiyana maladiyan kaanathai pokidil Thuraiyana pillaiyum suhamai senithidumae”

In “Pathinen Siddhar Aruliya Aathmaraatcha mirtham” page no:32-33 also denoted the main symptoms.

They are:

  1. Lower abdominal pain during menstruation

The patients were treated according to everyone’s complaints and condition. The common basic treatment includes:

  1. Bringing Tridoshas in to its equilibrium state
  2. Treatment for Malatu puzhu at the time of menstruation (especially on first three days of cycle)
  3. Administration of Internal medicine with suitable Anupanam
  4. External touch therapy (VARMA) and yoga
  5. Pathiyam that is diet restriction to normalize the vitiated dhosas and maintain good drug action

IN MY SIDDHA FAMILY PRACTICE: Though I am treating various cases in my professional treatment for infertility is challenging and very interesting one. Usually the couple comes after 5-10 yrs. of marriage life. Clear history and the previous treatment of the infertile partners are being analyzed first. The defect in conceiving is clearly ruled out with the help of modern investigation like Ultrasound Scanning and relevant tests.

With the help of siddha investigation methods the patient is then screened for treatment. Effective siddha medicines are individually prepared for the patients and provided to the patients with clean observation. Varmam and Yoga therapy are also being used as per need. Strict dietary regimen and Anupanam are maintained during treatment. Success rate I am getting from our treatment is more than 90% that most of the patients were previously failed cases.

"I am really happy and mentally satisfied to treat such cases, that we are saving a whole family".
