Journal Title: World Journal of Pharmaceutical and life sciences - Year 2017, Vol 3, Issue 8
Abstract
In Ayurvedic texts, various Mutrarogas and their management have described. Mainly eight types of Mutrakrichchhra are described. Krichchhrata (difficulty in voiding / pain full voiding), is the main feature but sometimes some feature of obstructions (mutravibhandhata) is also present. In Mutraghat, obstruction is a major feature. Vatabasti, Mutrajathara, and Vatakundalika resemble obstructive uropathy due to enlarged Prostate on the basis of symptomatology. Benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) is the most common condition in aging men, associated with lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS). The specific approach used to treat BPH depends upon number of factors like age, prostate size, weight, prostate-specific antigen level, and severity of the symptoms. In Ayurvedic classics, several drugs in different dosage forms and combinations are tailored for treating Mutrakrichchhra or Mutraghat. After referring several classical texts, mainly these drugs are elected for present study for oral administration. The selected drugs are: - Varuna stembark (Crataeva nurvala), Shigru stembark (Moringa olerifera) and Goksuru fruit (Tribulus terrestris) & Shodhit Shilajit. These drugs (Varuna, Shigru, Goksuru and Shilajit) will be used in combination and will be formulated with help of ghansatva formation technique so as to make it compatible with present age (In capsule form). Basti therapy will be given, using Dashmool Kwatha & Narayan Tail (for Niruha basti) and Narayan Tail (for Anuvasan Basti). α adrenergic blockers and 5-α reductase inhibitors plays the major role in the treatment of this condition; however, they have serious adverse effects and have limitations for a long term therapy. Hence, there is a need for drugs having good efficacy with low toxicity in this debilitating disorder. Ayurveda has always given the best solutions for chronic disorder. The case described in this article is treated with the same guideline as described in Ayurveda and a satisfactory result was obtained. Though a single case is not enough to prove the efficacy, author has tried to share his experience through this article to state that Ayurvedic treatment for BPH (Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia) is very effective and enhances the quality of life of patient without creating any side effects or with minimal side effects.
