Abstract

Innocent Prostatic hypertrophy is a serious issue that primarily affects men over the age of five. Prostate gland enlargement is frequently linked to lower urinary tract symptoms like urgency, nocturia, diminished and sporadic stream force, and the feeling that the bladder is not emptying completely, among others. BPH may worsen if treatment is not received. Under the category of Mutraghata (Obstructive Uropathies), Acharya Sushruta provided a detailed explanation of the obstructive and irritative symptoms of the bladder. Based on symptom similarities, Vatasthila, a kind of Mutraghata, may be linked to BPH. It appears as a result of pitta and kapha dosha vitiation and worsened vata. This illness is a member of the urinary tract's Mutravah strotas. BPH, or benign enlargement of the prostate, mainly affects people between the ages of 60 and 70 but can happen after the age of 50. While Ayurveda Acharya described several Kashaya, Uttarbasti, and other shodhanopakrama for the management of vatashtheela, modern science explains conservative and surgical treatment.

Keywords: BPH (Benign prostatic hypertrophy), mutraghata, vatashtheela, mutrashtheela.
