Dr. Harsha Joy · Accepted Answer

If both partners' reports are normal and there’s a history of abdominal TB 12 years ago, it’s important to understand that tuberculosis can sometimes leave behind adhesions or scarring in the reproductive organs, potentially affecting fertility even after successful treatment. Here are some steps to consider:

Ayurvedic Recommendations:
Uterine Health Tonic:
Use herbs like Ashwagandha, Shatavari, and Gokshura to strengthen reproductive health and improve uterine function. Shatavari is particularly beneficial for improving ovulation and balancing hormones.

Panchakarma Therapy:
A detoxification therapy like Uttar Basti (medicated enema) can help clear any subtle blockages in the reproductive tract and enhance fertility.

Diet and Lifestyle:

Include: Warm, easily digestible foods, ghee, nuts, seeds (like sesame and flaxseeds), and fresh fruits like pomegranate.
Avoid: Cold, processed, or fried foods that can disturb digestion and Agni.
Strengthen Immunity:
Take herbal preparations like Chyawanprash to maintain immunity and overall vitality.

Track Ovulation:
Work on timing intercourse during the fertile window for better chances of conception.

Modern Medical Support:
Consider an HSG (hysterosalpingogram) or laparoscopy if not already done, to check for tubal patency or any residual adhesions. If natural conception remains challenging, consult a fertility specialist for further guidance. Combining Ayurveda with modern interventions can provide a holistic approach to achieving conception.
