Oligoasthenozoospermia is a sperm disorder that involves two disorders at the same time, Oligozoospermia (Low sperm count) and Asthenospermia (Abnormal sperm motility). The signs and symptoms of oligoasthenozoospermia[1] can be co-related with Kshina Shukra, is one among the Asta-vidha Shukra dushti,[2] in which qualitative as well quantitative vitiation of Shukra dhatu occur. While describing the Dushti associated with Shukra, caraka acharya explained Kshina Shukra as a pathological condition caused by vitiated Vata and Pitta.
