Background: Infertility is defined as the inability to conceive after at least one year of unprotected intercourse. It is a complex disorder with significant medical, psychosocial, and economic problems. In about one third of couples are infertile. Approximately 167 million married women aged 15-49 years in developing countries were infertility. The present study aimed to determine the most common causes of female infertility in patients who visiting the National Ayuvedic Teaching Hospital, Borella, Sri Lanka. Methods: In this study 635 infertile (primary and secondary) women were selected to determine the causes of infertility. The subjects were selected from the gynecology clinic, between the periods of February 2015 to March 2016. The data were gathered using a questionnaire; and after that proper statistical method was applied to analyze the data. Results: From the results age between 28-37 years (37.16%) are more prevalent to infertility and the causes of infertility are mainly due to anovulatory cycle (31.18%) and menstrual irregularities (19.21%). BMI also one of the significant cause for infertility. Conclusion: Therefore, identifying the risk factors and proper treatment on time along with policy makers providing facilities to resolve the infertility could possible diverse this alarming increasing trend of infertility.

The obesity pandemic has brought forth a scientific interest in food intake and sensory perception interactions. Olfactory perception and gustatory perception are very complex and under the influence of many factors, including the menstrual cycle. This study aims to clarify conflicting findings on the influence of the menstrual cycle on olfactory and gustatory perception. Women were assessed during four consecutive phases of one complete cycle (mid-follicular, ovulatory, mid-luteal, and late luteal phases (N = 21)), in contrast to women measured across the same phases belonging to two menstrual cycles (N = 29). Additional control groups were men (N = 17), postmenopausal women (N = 14), oral contraceptive users (N = 10), and women with an anovulatory cycle (N = 8). Olfactory threshold, odor discrimination, and identification were tested using the “Sniffin Sticks“ test kit. Suprathreshold intensity and hedonic ratings for sweet, salty, sour, and bitter solutions were assessed. One-way ANOVA and ANOVA for repeated measurements was applied in the analysis, along with linear and trigonometric data fitting and linear mixed models. Linear increases in olfactory discrimination, identification, and overall olfactory performance were observed only in women followed across a complete menstrual cycle. Compared to other groups, these women displayed a cyclic pattern characterized by a predilection for sweet solution; reduced distaste for salty and sour solutions; and increased intensity perception of salty, sour, and bitter solutions towards the end of the cycle. These results suggest that a distinct hormonal milieu of a complete menstrual cycle may be affecting both olfactory and gustatory perception.

Present Case Study

Patient was anxious to conceive after active married life of 5 years. The present case study was done to evaluate the role of Ayurvedic Shodhana therapy i.e. Yogabasti for two consecutive menstrual cycles in the management of anovulation. After completing two courses of Yogabasti, improvement was noticed i.e. Ovulation study (during treatment - anovulatory cycle, After treatment - ovulatory cycle). The line of treatment was followed in this case was to treat the provoked Vata Dosha and vitiated Rasa Dhatu. There were no adverse effects found during the Ayurvedic Panchakarma procedure i.e. Yogabasti. Keywords: Anovulation, Panchakarma, Shodhana, Yogabasti

INTRODUCTION– The prevalence of hyperprolactinemia ranges from 0.4% in unselected normal adult females to as high as 9%–17% in females with reproductive health disorders.The etiology of hyperprolactinemia maybe pathological, physiological or pharmacological Drugs that stimulate the hypothalamic dopamine system and/or pituitary or dopamine receptors can cause elevated prolactin.Clinical features of hyperprolactinemia include menstrual disturbances (Oligo-amenorrhea, amenorrhea and irregular menses), anovulation, infertility galactorrhea or a combination of the above symptoms. MATERIAL AND METHOD- This is a retrospective of 88 Infertile females with documented Hyperprolectinimea.The clinical data and infertility workup (Hormonal profile, Imaging report and other tests)were obtained from gynaecological OPD. RESULTS- In this study the maximum number 54 (61.36%) of patientswere in the 21-25 years of age group,65 (73.86%) of patients were of normal weight and 20 (22.72%) of patients were overweight only 3 (3.40%) were obese In this study,the maximum number 60(68.18%)of patients were in primary infertility and 85 (96.59%) of patients had in mild rise in the prolactin level group. In this study, most of the patients 27 (30.68%) of patients were presented with complaints of oligomenorrheaand followed by Amenorrhea 21 (23.86%).Galactorrhea was found in 25(28.40%) patients after clinical examinations,both amenorrhea and galactorrhea were seen in20(22.72%)of the patients. Hypothyroidism was present in 13 (14.77%) of patients. CONCLUSION– Anovulatory cycle, Luteal face defect and sex hormonal imbalance caused by hyperprolactinemia results in infertility.Prolactin may stop ovulation and cause amenorrhea, in less severe cases Intermittent ovulation or ovulation that takes a long time to occur causes infrequent or irregular periods.that's why estimation of serum prolactin should be done at an early stage of an infertility workup. In our study, the prevalence of hyperprolactinemia and hypothyroidism was found very high which emphasize the importance of estimating TSH and Prolactin in infertility.In our study Oligomonorrhea,amenorrhea and galactorrhea are the commonest presentations in hyperprolactinemia.Proper Diagnosis and treatment results in an improvement in symptoms and an increase in conception rates in infertile patients.

ABSTRACT The follicle stimulating hormone (FSH), luteinizing hormone (LH) and pregnanediol excretion were studied in 21 menstruating young females. Seventeen cycles showed evidence of ovulation and 4 cycles were anovulatory. The data were plotted using the menstrual period as the focus. The normal FSH excretion pattern showed two main peaks, one during menstruation and the other postovulatory. The fundamental difference in the two types of cycles was the absence of a FSH peak during menstruation in the anovulatory cycle. The clinical application and endocrine significance of these findings are discussed.
