There is currently no permanent cure for BPH in allopathy, except for TURP, a surgical procedure. The medications your father is currently taking may have several side effects, including kidney and liver disorders. However, I have seen many patients who experience significant relief through Ayurvedic treatment. To provide the most effective advice, I would need to understand your father's complete medical history. This includes conducting Ayurvedic assessments such as Prakriti Pariksha and Jihva Pariksha, as well as reviewing his past and present medical history, surgical history, and dietary habits. Kindly share these details, and I will offer the most suitable recommendations.

This is a condition that causes non-cancerous enlargement of the prostate gland. The enlarged prostate exerts pressure against the urethra, causing frequent urination and trouble in starting or stopping urine flow. The condition primarily occurs due to hormonal changes associated with old age. Dosha responsible - Vata imbalance can culminate in conditions such as benign prostatic hyperplasia and urinary difficulties. Pitta imbalance, linked with heat and inflammation, may contribute to prostatitis and other inflammatory ailments. Though less commonly tied to prostate issues, Kapha imbalance can induce stagnation and sluggishness of vital processes throughout the body. Management - Gokshura Gokshura is commonly used as a cure for benign prostatic hyperplasia by promoting urine flow and reducing discomfort. It is a diuretic herb that helps eliminate toxins from the body through increased urination. Beyond its physical effects, gokshura also assists in balancing vata and pitta doshas, thought to play a role in prostate issues. Shatavari Shatavari is well-known for its rejuvenating characteristics and its capacity to harmonise hormones. It promotes general prostate well-being by diminishing inflammation and fostering hormonal stability Haritaki, aids harmony throughout the digestive and excretory channels. As a component of Triphala, it rids the body of impurities through natural cleansing. By balancing vata, Haritaki supports health in the reproductive and urinary systems, which is crucial for the prostate. Lifestyle changes- Regular Exercise: To boost circulation and decrease stress, participate in moderate exercise such as walking, yoga, and swimming. Stress Management: Methods like meditation, deep breathing exercises, and mindfulness can help reduce stress and balance the doshas. Hydration: Taking in a lot of water aids in flushing out toxins and maintaining urinary health.

Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia (BPH) is a common condition in aging men, linked to a Vata-Pitta imbalance affecting the urinary system (Mutravaha Srotas). Ayurveda focuses on reducing inflammation, improving urine flow, and strengthening prostate health through natural remedies. Key herbs like Varuna and Gokshura are highly effective—Varuna reduces prostate enlargement, while Gokshura eases urinary discomfort. Shatavari and Kanchanar Guggulu can also help balance hormones and prevent further growth. These should be taken under expert guidance. Dietary changes are crucial. Avoid spicy, oily, and processed foods to reduce Pitta aggravation. Add prostate-friendly foods like pumpkin seeds, flaxseeds, and antioxidant-rich fruits. Staying hydrated with barley water or coriander-infused water aids urine flow. Limiting caffeine and alcohol is also advised. Lifestyle adjustments play a key role. Regular exercise, yoga, and stress management help improve prostate health. Ashwini Mudra (pelvic floor exercises) and pranayama enhance circulation and urinary control. Warm oil massages like Abhyanga with sesame oil can further balance Vata. With consistent Ayurvedic care, diet, and lifestyle changes, BPH symptoms can be managed effectively, reducing dependency on medications.

Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia (BPH) is a common condition in aging men, characterized by prostate gland enlargement, leading to urinary difficulties such as frequent urination, weak urine flow, and incomplete emptying of the bladder. Ayurveda considers this a Vata-Pitta imbalance affecting the Mutravaha Srotas (urinary system). Managing BPH naturally involves reducing inflammation, improving urine flow, and strengthening prostate health through diet, herbs, and lifestyle modifications. Ayurvedic herbs like Varuna (Crataeva nurvala) and Gokshura (Tribulus terrestris) are beneficial for prostate health. Varuna helps reduce prostate enlargement and supports urinary function, while Gokshura acts as a natural diuretic and soothes urinary discomfort. Shatavari and Kanchanar Guggulu can also be used to balance hormones and prevent further gland enlargement. These can be taken as decoctions, powders, or Ayurvedic formulations under a practitioner’s guidance. Diet plays a crucial role in managing BPH. Avoiding spicy, oily, and processed foods helps reduce Pitta aggravation, while including pumpkin seeds, flaxseeds, walnuts, and antioxidant-rich fruits can support prostate function. Staying hydrated with barley water or coriander-infused water helps flush out toxins and improve urine flow. Limiting caffeine and alcohol is also advised, as they can irritate the bladder and worsen symptoms. Lifestyle changes like regular mild exercise, yoga, and stress management are essential for prostate health. Ashwini Mudra (pelvic floor exercises) and pranayama improve circulation to the prostate and support urinary control. Ayurvedic oil therapies like Abhyanga (self-massage with warm sesame oil) help balance Vata and promote overall wellness. With consistent Ayurvedic treatment, diet, and lifestyle changes, BPH symptoms can be managed effectively, reducing the need for long-term medications.
