ABSTRACT
Background: Klaibya, a condition described in Ayurveda, corresponds to erectile dysfunction (ED) and sexual debility. Conventional Therapies have limitations, necessitating exploration of Ayurvedic alternatives. Gokshuradi Choorna, a polyherbal formulation with Vajikarana (aphrodisiac) properties, was evaluated for its efficacy in Klaibya therapy. Methods: A single-arm, open-label clinical trial was conducted at the Government Ayurvedic PG College and Hospital, Chaukaghat, Varanasi. Forty male patients diagnosed with Klaibya were administered 5 grams of Gokshuradi Choorna orally With 50 ml. lukewarm milk twice daily for 30 days. Subjective (sexual desire, erectile dysfunction, premature ejaculation, etc.) and objective (semen volume, sperm count, motility, pH, etc.) parameters were assessed pre- and post-therapy using standardized scoring systems. Statistical analysis was performed using the Wilcoxon signed-rank test. Results: Statistically significant improvements were observed in sexual desire (41.37%, p=0.0005), erectile function (45.58%, p<0.0001), and premature ejaculation (33.76%, p<0.0001). Semen volume increased by 76.96% (p<0.0001), and sperm count improved by 55.76% (p<0.0001). Liquification time (92.85%) and visual appearance (60%) showed marked enhancements. Motility (20.45%) and excessive perspiration (6.06%) were not statistically significant. Conclusion: Gokshuradi Choorna demonstrated significant efficacy in improving erectile function, sperm quality, and overall sexual health. The findings support its integration into Ayurvedic clinical practice as a therapeutic option for male sexual dysfunction. Further controlled studies with larger sample sizes and biochemical markers are recommended.
