A CASE STUDY ON NEUROGENIC BLADDER VIS- A- VIS BASTIKUNDALIKA
Journal Title: Journal of Biological and Scientific Opinion - Year 2014, Vol 2, Issue 1
Abstract
Neurogenic bladder is impaired bladder function resulting from damage to the nerves that govern the urinary tract. Various nerves converge in the area of the bladder and serve to control the muscles of the urinary tract, which includes the sphincter muscles that normally form a tight ring around the urethra to hold urine back until it is voluntarily released. Damage to these nerve cells results in neurogenic bladder1. This can be viewed as bastikundalika, a type of mutraghata (obstructive uropathy) as per Ayurveda. There will be retention of urine due to apanavatadusti. Ayurveda propounds a holistic treatment approach in the treatment of neurogenic bladder. A patient of neurogenic bladder with subsequent urinary tract infection was treated with such treatment protocol. As there is no specific line of treatment mentioned for bastikundalika in classics of Ayurveda, the general line of treatment of mutraghata along with drugs acting on urinary system was administered for the duration of 2 months in successfully treating this case. Patient was completely relieved with the symptoms. The same has been presented as a case study in this article.
