Dr. Devika Srinivasan Divakaran* and Dr. Rachana H. V.

ABSTRACT

Infertility, affecting approximately 15% of couples globally, has become a growing concern due to its emotional, physical, and financial implications (WHO, 2020). Among the leading causes of infertility is Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS), a prevalent endocrine disorder characterized by hormonal imbalances, irregular menstrual cycles, and ovulatory dysfunctions, making natural conception increasingly challenging. This case report details the journey of a 30-year-old female with a marital life of eight years, who had been anxious to conceive for the same duration and was diagnosed with PCOS eight years ago. The objective was to explore the role of Trividha Chikitsa in managing infertility associated with PCOS. The treatment protocol integrated Yuktivyapashraya Chikitsa, Daivavyapashraya Chikitsa, and Satvavajaya Chikitsa to address both physiological and psychological factors influencing fertility. Following the intervention, the patient successfully conceived naturally and delivered a healthy baby via spontaneous vaginal delivery. This case highlights the effectiveness of Trividha Chikitsa in managing PCOS-related infertility. This approach acknowledges its potential applicability in managing certain cases of unexplained infertility, offering a comprehensive pathway to address such challenges.
