ABSTRACT

Infertility, particularly anovulatory infertility, is a major reproductive health concern affecting millions of couples worldwide. The present clinical study titled “A Comprehensive Clinical Study & Therapeutic Responses of Unani Formulation in Induction of Ovulation” was conducted at Government Nizamia Tibbi College and Hospital, Hyderabad, to evaluate the efficacy of a traditional Unani formulation in inducing ovulation among women suffering from anovulatory infertility. A total of 40 female patients, aged 20–40 years, with 1–12 years of married life and diagnosed with anovulatory infertility, were selected and divided into two treatment groups. Group A received a combination of oral medication and Humool (pessary), while Group B received oral treatment alone. The therapeutic regimen was administered from the 3rd to 12th day of the menstrual cycle, and follicular studies were performed through ultrasonography (USG) to confirm ovulation. The Unani formulations included herbal ingredients such as Saleb Mesri (Orchis mascula), Tukhm-e-Gazar (Daucus carota), Kaiphal (Myrica nagi), Tudari Surkh (Matthiola incana), and Roghan-e-Chambeli (Jasminum grandiflorum), each possessing aphrodisiac, nutritive, uterine tonic, and hormonal modulating properties. The study observed significant improvement in ovulatory response, restoration of normal menstrual patterns, and symptomatic relief in the majority of patients, particularly in Group A. The findings suggest that this Unani ovulation-inducing regimen can serve as a safe, economical, and effective alternative to conventional hormonal therapies, offering a natural approach to restoring fertility. Further large-scale clinical trials are recommended to validate and standardize these outcomes.
