"Homeopathy Helped Relieve BPH Symptoms—No Surgery Needed"

Introduction to Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia (BPH)

Benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH), also known as benign enlargement of the prostate, is a common condition that affects older men.The symptoms of BPH include frequent urination, urgency, interrupted urine flow, and even pain during urination or ejaculation. Some men may also experience involuntary urination or changes in the color and smell of urine.

While surgery is often considered in more severe cases, homeopathy has emerged as an alternative treatment, offering potential relief without invasive procedures. This case study illustrates the treatment journey of a patient with BPH who sought homeopathic treatment at Life Force Homeopathy, Jayanagar Branch.

Patient Profile and Case History

A 57-year-old male patient (Patient ID: 54902) visited Life Force Homeopathy on 30th June 2024, seeking treatment for benign enlargement of the prostate. His condition had been diagnosed just one month prior to his visit. The patient reported experiencing frequent urination, particularly during the daytime, with an urge to urinate every hour. At night, he woke up at least once to urinate. He also found it difficult to hold urine and experienced an overwhelming urgency to urinate soon after drinking water.

His abdomino-pelvic ultrasonography, done on 11th June 2024, showed grade 2 prostatic enlargement (prostatomegaly) and a significant post-void residue of 80cc. The patient''s PSA (prostate-specific antigen) level was 1.26 on 12th June 2024.

A detailed case history was taken, considering both his physical and mental health.

Physical Outlook:

The patient reported that he was a non-vegetarian with an average appetite and a craving for spicy food. His thirst was normal, and he had average perspiration but was intolerant to cold weather. His bowel movements were regular, and he experienced sound sleep, preferring to lie on his left side.

Psychological outlook:

Mentally, the patient was an introvert with a limited social circle. He had a happy childhood and a supportive family life. His marital life was also satisfactory. However, the patient expressed significant anxiety about his health and had a fear of heights. He was a workaholic, with a tendency to worry and feel anxious if tasks were not completed on time. His intellectual faculties, including memory, logic, and perception, were all noted to be sharp.

Homeopathic Treatment and Prescription

After a thorough review of the case, Dr. Shah prescribed medicines based on the patient''s detailed case history.

Follow-up and Progress

The patient''s first follow-up consultation took place on 3rd September 2024, just over two months after starting treatment. Remarkably, the patient showed a 75% improvement in his symptoms by this early stage. He reported a noticeable reduction in the frequency of urination during the day and found that he could hold urine for longer periods without feeling the same urgency.

By the next follow-up on 24th October 2024, the patient continued to show progress, with further reduction in symptoms. The improvement in his condition was gradual and steady, providing evidence of the effectiveness of the homeopathic treatment.

A final follow-up consultation took place on 16th March 2025, almost eight months after starting treatment. The patient was delighted to report that his symptoms had completely resolved. He no longer experienced frequent urination or urgency, and his overall quality of life had significantly improved.

An abdomino-pelvic ultrasonography conducted on 8th March 2025 showed a significant reduction in post-void residue (down to 8cc), indicating improved bladder function. Although there was no significant change in the size of the prostate, the patient expressed great satisfaction with the outcome, as his symptoms had been effectively managed without the need for surgery.

Conclusion

This case study demonstrates that homeopathy can be an effective and non-invasive treatment option for managing benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH). By addressing both the physical and emotional aspects of the patient''s condition, homeopathy not only alleviates common symptoms like frequent urination and urgency but also works at a deep, constitutional level to prevent further enlargement of the prostate. With minimal side effects and a holistic approach to treatment, homeopathy provides a safe and sustainable option for individuals suffering from conditions like BPH.
