Abstract: Background: Male infertility contributes significantly to reproductive failure, with oligospermia being one of the common etiological factors. In Ayurveda, reduced semen quantity and quality are described under the condition Ksheena Shukra. The present case report aims to evaluate the effect of Ayurvedic management on semen parameters in a patient diagnosed with Ksheena Shukra. Aim: To assess the role of Ayurvedic management in improving semen parameters in a patient with Ksheena Shukra (oligospermia). Methodology: A 25-year-old male with primary infertility for one year and a history of premature ejaculation for two years was evaluated. Semen analysis revealed oligospermia with reduced sperm count and motility. The patient was treated with oral Ayurvedic formulation Shatavaryadi Choorna along with Shatpushpadi Yapana Basti. Results: After treatment, semen analysis showed marked improvement. Seminal volume increased from 1 ml to 2.5 ml, sperm count rose from 20 million/ml to 120 million/ml, and motility improved from 15% to 30%. Morphology and overall semen quality also showed favorable changes. Clinically, the patient reported enhanced sexual satisfaction and improved confidence. Conclusion: Safe and holistic alternatives for the management of male infertility may be achieved through integrative Ayurvedic approaches. This case highlights that the combined application of Shamana and Shodhana Chikitsa can significantly enhance seminal qualities and correct functional disturbances observed in Ksheena Shukra.
