ABSTRACT

B.P.H. is a condition intimately related to ageing and most frequently seen in men in 7th, 8th, 9th decade but also occurs in 6th and even 5th decade of life. International surveys have found a high prevalence of moderate to severe obstructive symptom in men over 50, which increase with age. In Ayurvedic classics Mutraghat gives the symptoms of low urinary out put either by retention, absolute or relative anuria or oliguria. Mutraghat is predominantly due to the Vata dosha. The Vata dosha is responsible to expel the urine out timely and uniformly. , vitiated Dosha travel through the Sukshma Siras and Dhamani to get Lodged in (Khavaigunaya Sthana) i.e. Basti where upon further vitiation of Vata leads to Vimarga Gamana and therefore Mutraghata.The non-invasive and non-surgical therapy (Varunadi gana kwath bhavitam Shilajathu rasayana) suggested in present study has provided better non-hormonal alternative therapy to the BPH patients without any adverse effect.
