Birendra Chaurasia*

Abstract

Background: Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia (BPH), commonly known as prostate enlargement, is a prevalent condition among aging men. It is characterized by an increase in the size of the prostate gland, leading to urinary symptoms such as frequent urination, nocturia, urgency, and incomplete bladder emptying. Conventional medical treatments include alpha-blockers and 5-alpha-reductase inhibitors; however, they often cause side effects. Homeopathy, with its holistic and individualized approach, presents an alternative form of treatment with minimal side effects. Objective: This review aims to evaluate and present the most used and clinically effective homeopathic remedies for the management of prostate enlargement (BPH), providing insight into their indications and therapeutic action. Method: An integrative literature review was conducted using classical homeopathic materia medica, repertories, clinical homeopathy journals, and available case studies. Remedies were selected based on their frequency of use, therapeutic efficacy, and alignment with the characteristic symptoms of BPH. Conclusion: Homeopathy offers a range of remedies tailored to individual symptom profiles in BPH patients. Remedies such as Sabal Serrulata, Conium Maculatum, and Chimaphila Umbellata have shown consistent clinical effectiveness. Further clinical trials and studies are recommended to standardize treatment protocols and enhance evidence-based practice.
