ABSTRACT

In day to day life everyone experiences the natural urges. Ayurveda strongly emphasizes on not to suppress natural urges and forcibly calling upon them when there is no natural urge. Since ancient time, various Acharyas have clearly mentioned that maximum diseases are caused by forceful suppression of natural urges. Therefore, these natural urges should not be suppressed at any cost. There are thirteen types of Vegas mentioned in Ayurveda which should not be retained in any condition. If they are suppressed on a regular basis due to any reason, they can lead to various serious health problems. Out of these 13 Vegas, Suppression of Shukra Vega (urge of seminal discharge) also should not be retained as others. Controlling urge of semen may lead to impairments in both Sharirika and Manasika Doshas. If we do it often, this will result in serious complications like pain in genitals and testicles, hernia, cardiac pain and even impotency also. Therefore, for living a normal healthy life, it is necessary that the needs of these natural urges are satisfied instantaneously i.e. as soon as they are explicit. In this review article, attempt is made to explain various consequences of Shukra Vega Dharana mentioned in Ayurvedic texts and also enlists the management of the complications occurred by suppressing the natural urge of Shukra Vega (semen discharge).
