Introduction: Infertility is a common problem contributing to negative impact on patient emotiona-lly, sexually and socially, impairing their quality of life and causing significant economic burden on health care system. A minimum of 80 million couples suffer from infertility worldwide. Despiteimprovement in diagnostic techniques, the incidence of unexplained or idiopathic infertility remainsup to 15%. Due to absence of an identifiable cause, the treatment of this condition is empirical. In Unani system of medicine, various drugs and formulations are used to induce ovulation. One ofsuch formulation has been chosen to treat the present case for unexplained infertility and observe long term pregnancy outcome. Case presentation: We report a case of 25 years old, nulligravida who successfully achieved preg-nancy following unani treatment. She presented with complain of unsuccessful attempts at concepti-on since three years. Investigations were carried out which did not reveal any abnormality thus making unexplained infertility as diagnosis of exclusion. The patient was prescribed to take nuskhaMu‘īn-i-Ḥaml 6g twice a day from D5 – D9 of menstrual cycle with warm milk and Ma‘jūn mocharas 6g twice a day throughout the month. The patient conceived after the treatment for 2 cycles and had an uneventful pregnancy with delivery of a female baby weighing 2.6kg. Conclusion: These Unani formulations might have assisted in conception due to their uterotonic and ovulation inducing properties. This article offers an approach to treat unexplained infertility usingunani formulation. Further researches in the form of randomized clinical trials are needed to prove the efficacy of these formulations in unexplained infertility.
