AN INTEGRATIVE AYURVEDIC AND CONTEMPORARY APPROACH TO MANAGING FEMALE INFERTILITY: A CASE SERIES OF FOUR PATIENTS

Background: Female infertility is a multifactorial and emotionally distressing condition, commonly associated with polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS), ovulatory dysfunction, uterine structural anomalies, and early pregnancy complications. While modern reproductive medicine offers effective diagnostic and interventional tools, outcomes remain suboptimal in a subset of patients. Objective: To evaluate clinical outcomes of an integrative treatment approach combining classical Ayurvedic therapies with contemporary reproductive medicine in women with diverse infertility-related conditions. Methods: This retrospective case series reviewed four women treated between 2023 and 2025 using a personalized integrative protocol. Ayurvedic interventions (Śodhana, Rasāyana, Garbhasthāpana, dietary and lifestyle correction) were combined with modern diagnostics, ovulation induction, surgical correction when indicated, and serial ultrasonographic monitoring. Results: All cases demonstrated clinically meaningful improvement. PCOS patients showed restoration of ovulation and improved endometrial receptivity. A septate uterus was successfully corrected surgically following Ayurvedic preparatory therapy. One case of threatened early pregnancy stabilized and progressed, and one patient achieved a healthy full-term vaginal delivery. Conclusion: An integrative Ayurvedic–contemporary approach may enhance reproductive outcomes in complex infertility cases by addressing metabolic, structural, and hormonal factors simultaneously. Larger controlled studies are warranted to validate these preliminary observations.
