→Role of shukra dhatu as vitiated factor in diseases:
Shukra dhatu is involved in the pathogenesis of the following diseases:
Shukra dhatu is involved in the pathogenesis of the following diseases:
*Obstinate urinary diseases including diabetes(prameha) [Cha. Sa. [[Nidana Sthana]] 4/7]
*Emaciation including tuberculosis (shosha) [Cha. Sa. [[Nidana Sthana]] 6/8]
*Emaciation due to trauma (kshata-ksheena)) [Cha. Sa. [[Chikitsa Sthana]] 11/12].
*When vitiated [[vata dosha]] affects semen, it causes premature ejaculation or absence of ejaculation. In females, it can cause dysmenorrhoea, oligomenorrhoea, or amenorrhoea. In pregnancy, it leads to preterm or delayed labor. It may also cause congenital deformities in the fetus. [Cha. Sa. [[Chikitsa Sthana]] 28/34].
*If the vata is occluded in semen, it results in ejaculation or premature ejaculation or sterility. [Cha. Sa. [[Chikitsa Sthana]] 28/68].
*In case of fever (jwara), vitiated dosha located in the shukra dhatu cause untimely ejaculation and destruction of shukra. This results in decreased vitality with [[vayu]], [[agni]], and soma components of the subtle body. It is incurable. [Cha. Sa. [[Chikitsa Sthana]] 3/82]

Currently, the microscopic study of semen is done as the “seminal analysis”. The abnormalities in semen are observed as below:
*'''Aspermia''': absence of semen
*'''Azoospermia''': absence of sperm
*'''Hypospermia''': low semen volume
*'''Hyperspermia''': high semen volume
*'''Oligozoospermia''': Very low sperm count
*'''Asthenozoospermia''': poor sperm motility
*'''Teratozoospermia''': sperm carry more morphological defects than usual
*'''Necrozoospermia''': all sperm in the ejaculate are dead
*'''Leucospermia''': a high level of white blood cells in semen.
