Preventing Benign Prostatic Hypertrophy through Ayurveda

[Guest guest]

Dear Dr Suri,

 

Thanks for a good article covering both modern and ayurvedic views.

However, this author has certain doubts and he will be happy to read

your comments.

 

1. When reasons and symptoms of BPH are so well described in

ayurveda, and the likelihood of urine infection is suggested by

burning sensation/blood in urine, why modern ayurveda should need

ultrasound/blood checks/urine tests/tissue biopsies. This author

strongly feels that these are the greek/latin languages with which

modern science has been impressing patients. Simplicity of ayurveda

stands in glaring contrast. How well Sushruta would have managed the

patients in absence of modern diagnostics?

 

2. Prostate enlargement in all men, and nearly 1/3 suffering from BPH

are perhaps conclusions of modern science. This author would like to

know is there any ayurvedic support for these statements?

 

3. It would be nice if you indicating the possible treatments and few

medicines available in ayurveda. Would it be possible to manage BPH

without any medicine?

 

Regards

Dr Bhate
