Infertility is the failure to conceive  even after one or more years of regular unprotected coitus. Even though both male and female factors contributeto infertility female are little more affected.  Incidence of infertility is rising globally due to improper life styles. PCOS is a  life style disorder that is very common among women of reproductive age group.  In this case a 27 year old woman approached the OPD of Prasuthi tantra and Streeroga of Govt. Ayurveda Collage Hospital for Woman and ChildrenPoojappurawith a complaint of inability to conceive even after 5 years of  unprotected sexual life and intense desire to get pregnant. She had irregular  menstrual cycles and was diagnosed with bilateral PCOS. Based on Ayurvedic  classics the features of pushpagni jathaharini is found very similar to this  condition.
