A Comparative Clinical Study to Evaluate The Efficacy of Shilobidadi Tailam Uttarabasti and Shilobidadi Tailam Matrabasti Followed by Shilodbidadi Kashayam in the Managment of Vatastila with special refference to Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia

Benign Prostate Hyperplasia (BPH) is a benign enlargement of prostate which occurs after 50  years. Usually between 60 and 70 years with age testosterone level drops slowly, but fall of estrogen level is not equal. The prostate enlarges through intermediate peptide growth factor, so that increases pressure on the urethra and results in urinary symptoms, such as increased frequency of micturition, Dysuria and urgency. Prevalence of BPH shows 20% in men aged 41–50yrs, 50% in men aged 51–60yrs and >90% in men older than 80yrs. At age 55yrs, approx. 25% of men report obstructive voiding symptoms, at the age of 75yrs, 50% of men complain of a decrease in the force of their urinary  stream

Hence It is the need of the hour to  understand BPH in terms of Ayurveda, so that an uncomplicated and patient friendly treatment can be  advised to the patients. Thus, Shilodbidadi tailam Uttara Basti & Matra Basti followed by Shilodbidadi Kashayam as a shamana aushadhi in both groups are adviced. Keeping all these facts in  mind,“A COMPARATIVE CLINICAL STUDY TO EVALUATE THE EFFICACY OF  SHILODBIDADI TAILAM UTTARABASTI AND SHILODBIDADI TAILAM MATRABASTI, FOLLOWED BY SHILODBIDADI KASHAYAM IN THE MANAGEMENT OF  VATASTHILA WITH SPECIAL REFERENCE TO BENIGN PROSTATIC HYPERPLASIA” is undertaken.
