Abstract

Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia (BPH) is a highly prevalent condition among aging men, presenting with symptoms such as urinary hesitancy, increased frequency, urgency, reduced urinary stream, and intermittency. These clinical manifestations closely parallel Vatashtheela, described by Acharya Sushruta as one of the twelve forms of Mutraghata, characterized by urinary obstruction caused by a mass or enlargement near the bladder neck. This case report describes a 59-year-old male patient presenting with complaints of frequent urination, nocturia, and straining during micturition, who was subsequently diagnosed with BPH. Following a comprehensive case history and detailed clinical evaluation, Matrabasti therapy was administered using Shwadanstradi Taila with oral administration of Avipattikar Churna. The intervention resulted in significant improvement in both subjective symptoms and objective clinical findings. The outcomes suggest that this therapeutic approach may offer an effective management option for BPH, a condition that substantially impacts quality of life and imposes a considerable socioeconomic burden on healthcare systems.
