Abstract

Benign prostatic hypertrophy(BPH) is enlargement of the prostate due to the formation of one or more nodules. The report presented here is a diagnosed case of BPH. The patient presented with symptoms of increased frequency of urination, dribbling of urine after micturition, intermittent flow of urine and inability to postpone urination. The constitutional homoeopathic medicines like Phosphorus and Pulsatilla improved the patient. The status of the case was assessed with the help of USG, Uroflowmetry and International Prostate Symptom Score (IPSS). Thus, homoeopathic constitutional medicines can alleviate the symptoms of BPH and reduce the size of enlarged prostate.
