Abstract

Tubal blockage is one of the most essential causative factors for female infertility (Vandhyatva). It accounts for about 25-35% of female infertility. It is the need of the era that a secure, more expenditure effectual and absolute therapy of this sensitive problem should be developed. The current study is an attempt to evaluate the efficacy of Kumari Taila Uttarabasti in tubal blockage. Patients of child bearing age with active marital life of one year or more having complaint of failure to conceive with at least one fallopian tube blocked diagnosed by Hysterosalpingography (HSG) were selected. Total 19 patients were registered from the OPD of Stree Roga and Prasooti Tantra Department, IPGT & RA, Jamnagar. Among registered patients, 18 patients completed the course of treatment, with 52.63% unilateral and 47.37% bilateral tubal blockage. Kumari Taila (5 ml) Intrauterine Uttarabasti was given for 6 days (with interval of three days in between), after completion of menses for two consecutive cycles. The tubal patency was found in 66.67% of patients and conception was achieved in 11.11% of patients without any complication. Uttarabasti is an imperative and an exclusive Ayurvedic procedure stated in classics particularly for the management of Vandhyatva and other gynecological disorders. Kumari Taila Uttarabasti is a highly effective procedure for treating tubal blockage with no apparent evidence of complication.
