AYURVEDIC METHODS OF SEMEN ANALYSIS.

A detailed description of examination of the seminal fluid is available in the Ayurvedic classics. It is in common practice to use the terms retas, sukra, and virya to be vaguely synonymous. However, these words are coined for a specific purpose; that is to say, shukra denotes the whole testicular secretion comprising of sperms and androgens; while retas denote the ejaculate and Virya, the androgens. The examination of retas ( semen ) has been explained by Charak under eight factors ,where as Sushruta has described different pathological conditions of semen ( ref. table).
