6. Brief Resume Of The Intended Work

6.1 Need for study

Infertility is a major problem in our society. Now a day the rate of infertility is steadily increasing because of change of life style of human beings.

People want to lead luxurious life for that they are running behind the money, and thus people get more stressed and tensed out at work.

Delayed marriage,higher education & high ambitions, which are the cause for infertility.

Today's life is very fast, the food habits are also changed, the intake of fast food, junk food and adulterated food also impacts fertility.

The Incidence rate mentioned by World Health Organization (WHO) reveals that between 2-10% of couples worldwide are unable to conceive primarily .

About 60-80 million couples in the world are infertile .

40-60% of female patients are suffering from infertility with ovulation failure being 20%.1

 The most common cause of female infertility is ovulatory disorder characterized by anovulation or by infrequent and/ or irregular ovulation.

Oligomenorrhoea or complete amenorrhea usually indicates ovulatory disorders2.

A person without a child is like a tree devoid of fruits denotes the importance of treatment of infertility.3

 Primary infertility is a common problem in women encountered by gynecologist

The psychoneurotic upset resulting from infertility affects woman’s physical as well as mental health.

The high incidence of side effects of existing treatment by hormones , needs appropriate, safe, non hormonal approach.

To establish safer Ayurvedic remedy.

6.2 Review of literature

A/C to SusrutacharyaVandhya is a woman who had lost her Artava i.e menstruation. This is interpreted as loss of ovulation means infertility (Artava means ovum)4&5

Pushpaghni Jataharini mentioned by Kashyapa presents with failure of menstruation and androgenic features 6.

Harita explained 6 types of vandhya among these varieties Anapatya, Garbhasravi, Balakshaya are curable after a period of treatment 7.

. Charaka described about Apraja vandhya as complication of yoni –vyapad. It is characterized by failure of conception 8

Charak classified infertility into 3 types :

  • Vandhya (congenital absence of Garbhashaya or Artava)
  • Apraja (primary infertility )
  • Sapraja (secondary infertility )

7.2 Method of Collection of Data

patients will be selected on simple randomized sampling grounds after proper investigation i.e U.S.G and physical examination according to the selection criteria

Sample size –

30 patients will be selected according to Inclusion criteria,

Patients fulfilling above criteria were assigned in to 2 groups

Group A – 15 patients will be given trial drug Ghanasatwa in a capsule form of 500mg administered orally in a dose of 2 capsule T.I.D with warm milk as anupan for 20 days (from 5th day of menses up to25th day) for 3 cycles

Follow up –

Evaluation of symptoms will be done before treatment ,after 1st Cycle ,2nd Cycle & 3rd Cycle .

Methodology The progress will be noted on basis of assessment parameters (both subjective & objective parameters) and noted in specially prepared case sheet.

Statistical analysis

The result will be statistically analyzed by employing some statistical tests between the groups & also within the groups.

1.Within the groups:-

If the observations are paired type (Depending) then to test significant difference between two dependent means or paired means we may use paired ‘t’ test (students ‘t’ test).

The test statistics

t =d √n where d = ∑ d

s

n

d = Difference between before treatment values & after treatment values.

n = Number of observations.

s = Standard deviation of the difference ═

Degrees of freedom = n-1

2.Between the groups:-

For testing the significant difference between two independent means. Student‘t’ test for testing two independent means may be employed.

The‘t’ test statistics is: -

t = Where= ∑ x/n1 x = Treatment group.

= ∑ y/n2 y = Control group.

S = Pooled standard deviation =

n1 = No. of observation in Treatment group.

n2 = No. of observation in the Control group.

Degree of freedom = n1 + n2 - 2
