Abstract

Benign prostatic hypertrophy (BPH), also known as benign prostatic hyperplasia is a non-cancerous growth of the prostate gland in men, which occurs with natural ageing. The prostate gland is the male organ which is most commonly afflicted with either benign or malignant neoplasm. BPH is the most common benign tumor in men, and its incidence is age-related. Histological prevalence is common, and disease progression is associated with bladder outflow obstruction.[1] In Ayurveda Mutraghata either upper or it is commonly associated with lower urinary tract symptoms such as retention, incomplete voiding, dribbling, hesitancy, incontinence of urine etc. In this case study, a patient diagnosed with Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia was treated with chandraprabha vati, gokshur gugulu, punrnwa mandur, Punrnvaasthaka kwath, Bangshil tablet for 3 months. Assessment of patient was done by IPSS (International Prostate Symptom Score) and weight of the prostate and post void residual urine volume. After completion of treatment significant relief was observed in symptoms.
