Evaluation of Efficacy of Varunadi Kwatha in the Management of Vatasthila w.s.r. to Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia.

Vatasthila has symptoms similar to Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia (BPH), which is a non-malignant enlargement of the prostate gland commonly seen in elderly males. BPH includes obstructive and irritative urinary symptoms like urinary retention, nocturia, urgency, and incomplete bladder evacuation. In Ayurveda, Vatasthila is described under Mutraghata. Modern treatments have side effects and surgical complications. Varunadi Kwatha, mentioned in Chakradatta Ashmari Adhyaya, has Kaphahara, Lekhana, and Mutrala properties. It acts through Vatanulomana, Shothahara, and Deepana effects. A randomized, single-blind, controlled clinical trial will be conducted on 40 patients for 45 days. Follow-ups will be on Day 15, 30, and 45. Assessment will be based on IPSS score, urinary frequency, urgency, nocturia, prostate size, and residual urine volume.
