Sperm Disorders

Low sperm count, poor motility, or abnormal shape fall under śukra doṣa in Ayurveda. These disorders arise when śukra dhātu, the reproductive tissue, is weakened by poor agni, stress, or lifestyle. When nourishment fails at the deepest tissue level, fertility and virility decline, often silently over time.
