PROSTATE ENLARGEMENT
(BENIGN PROSTATE HYPERTROPHY)
by Dr. Rajesh Shah
Definition:
BPH (Benign prostatic hyperplasia) is a non-cancerous
enlargement of the prostate gland. The word benign means the
enlargement that is not caused by cancer or infection. The
word hyperplasia means enlargement.
The prostate is a small gland of size and shape of walnut
and is an integral part of male reproductive system.
Remarks: Many symptoms
of BPH are related more to the urinary system rather than
prostate per se. The symptoms include increased frequency of
urination, especially at night time, difficulty in
initiating flow of urine, straining for urine, urgency for
urination etc.
The major risk for having BPH is advancing age. Hormonal
disturbances associated with increasing age are thought to
be at the root of this condition.
Homoeopathy, a novel science of therapeutics, is based on
the principle that disease is a total affliction of body and
hence homoeopathy believes in treating a person who is
diseased rather than treating isolated diseased organs of
the body. This approach of homoeopathy has made it possible
to treat many so-called surgical conditions without using
knife.
Suggestion about homeopathic
treatment: Homoeopathy can effectively manage
various symptoms associated with BPH. With timely
administered homoeopathy treatment it may be possible to
avoid surgery in many cases.
