✔ Male Infertility: Understanding the Condition
Male infertility affects almost 40–50% of couples struggling to conceive. In Ayurveda, this condition is linked with Shukra Dhatu Dushti — meaning the reproductive tissue becomes weak, imbalanced, or toxin-loaded.
Poor lifestyle habits, hormonal disturbances, stress, heat exposure, or underlying medical issues often weaken sperm count, sperm motility, and semen quality.
At Dr. Juneja’s Ayurvedic Clinic, we provide non-invasive, natural, and result-oriented treatment plans that work on the root cause, not just symptoms.

FAQ'S
Why is my sperm count low even though my sexual performance is good?
Because performance and fertility are different. You can have strong erections but weak sperm production.
Can too much heat “down there” really damage sperm?
Yes! Tight underwear, long bike rides, saunas, and even laptops on the lap overheat the testes and lower fertility.
I ejaculate normally—why am I still infertile?
Because fertility depends on sperm count, motility, and shape, not just ejaculation.
Does watching or masturbating too much decrease fertility?
Excessive frequency can reduce sperm quality temporarily, but doesn’t permanently damage fertility.
Can stress seriously affect sperm count?
Absolutely. Stress increases cortisol, which slows down testosterone and sperm production.
Does smoking or drinking really kill sperm?
Yes. Alcohol and nicotine damage sperm DNA, reduce count, and weaken movement.
Can low libido and infertility be connected?
Yes—hormonal issues can affect both sperm health and sexual desire at the same time.
Why is my sperm watery or thin Is that a fertility issue?
Often yes. Watery semen may indicate low sperm count or low seminal fluid volume.
Does age matter for male fertility?
Yes. After 35, sperm quality starts declining—slowly but surely.
Can male infertility be reversed?
In most cases, YES. With herbs, diet changes, detox, and Ayurvedic treatment, sperm quality improves naturally.
