Evidence based homoeopathy: A case report of oligospermia in 26years of old male patient

Oligospermia, defined as a sperm concentration below the lower reference limit, is one of the most common causes of male infertility. According to the World Health Organization, a sperm concentration of less than 15 million/mL is considered oligospermia. Conventional treatment options include hormonal therapy and assisted reproductive techniques, which may be costly, invasive, and psychologically stressful. Homoeopathy, with its individualized and holistic approach, may offer a supportive role in the management of male infertility. A male patient presented with complaints of primary infertility. Repeated semen analyses revealed a significantly reduced sperm concentration consistent with oligospermia. The female partner was evaluated separately and no contributory abnormality was detected. A detailed homoeopathic case taking was performed, emphasizing mental generals, physical generals, and reproductive symptoms. The patient was followed up regularly with clinical assessment and serial semen analyses. Improvement was observed in general health, sexual vitality, and semen parameters, as evidenced by an increase in sperm concentration. The causal relationship between the intervention and outcome was assessed using the Modified Naranjo Criteria for Homoeopathy. This case report suggests that individualized homoeopathic treatment may be beneficial in improving semen parameters in cases of oligospermia.
