Enlarged Prostate Gland Herbal Treatment

Ayurvedic Treatment for Prostate Gland Enlargement 

The literal meaning of Prostate is to “guard” or to protect. It is a small walnut sized gland weighing around 20 to 30 grams. In case of enlargement of the prostate, it can swell up to 80-100 grams. In most

Incidence of Benign prostatic hyperplasia –

As men age, the chance of BPH or prostate enlargement increases many fold. 25 % of all men have some degree of prostatic enlargement as they reach their 50’s.  When they reach their 80’s , over 90 % of the men will have enlarged prostate. Only 10 % of these will be however symptomatic and severe enough to require treatment.

Cause of Prostate Enlargement and treatment by modern drugs  

The cause of enlarged prostate is mainly accumulation to di-hydrotestosterone in the prostate which triggers growth of the cells.

An enzyme 5 alpha reductatase converts testosterone into Di-hydrotestosterone within cells. There are medicines which are given to block this enzyme. There are other drugs like Finasteride, episteride used in modern medicine to help symptomatically.

Another category of drugs like prazosin, tamsulosin are alpha adrenergic blockers causing relaxation of smooth muscles and help to relieve the prostate obstruction. This is also a symptomatic treatment and needs to be taken daily.

All the drugs are chemical based medicines which do have side effects in the long run.

Symptoms of Enlarged prostate Gland

The prostate gland covers the pipe which is bringing the urine from the bladder to the penis. It impinges upon this pipe and pressurizes it. This leads to symptoms like
·         Difficulty in urination
·         Hesitancy in urination
·         Dysuria – Painful urination
·         Dribbling
·         Increased frequency of urination, especially during the night
·         Increased risk of infections
·         In complicated cases, urine back flow can lead to swelling of kidneys and their failure.


Treatment of Enlarged prostate in Ayurveda 

In Ayurveda, the prostate gland is called “Ashthila”  and prostatic enlargement can be treated very effectively. There are certain herbal formulations which are developed by ancient sages and used in Ayurvedic from last 3000 years. 

Kachnaar Guggul -  One of the classical formulation is “kachnaar Guggul”. This is a blend of herbs like Bauhinea variegate and commiphora mukul. The commiphora mukul is powerful anti-inflammatory, anti-tumor and helps to stop the  abnormal growth of cells. The herb Kachnaar ( Bauhinea variegate) is a popular and effective anti-cancer herb and combined with Guggul helps to shrink the prostate gland. It is also helpful in prostate cancer. This active ingredient from the healing herb is very effective to shrink tumors and fight all sorts of inflammatory processes going on inside the body.  We use standardized 95 % active ingredient in extract form to maximize the effects.  The product is very useful in all types of swellings, prostate enlargements, lymph nodes swellings, tumors and growths.

Varunadi Vati – Crataeva nurvala is the name of the tree from which this formulation is made. This caper family tree is known as “God of Water” because it controls any diseases related to water imbalance especially effecting the flow of urine. Ayurveda experts all over the world use Varunadi Vati for urinary tract obstructions, urinary strictures, kidney stones, benign prostatic hypertrophy and prostate cancer.

Tribulus Power – Gokshura is the Sanskrit name of this herb. It is used in Ayurveda since centuries to cure urinary obstruction problems. It helps to increase urine flow, improve strength of the urinary bladder and improves resistance to infections. It is widely used for treatment of BPH.

Shilajit – This remarkable mineral rich substance is used to provide nourishment to the body. There are hardly any micro minerals which are lacking in this nature’s abundant treasure for youthfulness.  Popularly it’s called Fountain of youth in many cultures. This helps to reduce inflammation and swellings in the body. It is helpful to fight prostatic enlargement and cancer of the prostate.
Prostate Cancer

As mentioned above, 90 % of the men, about the age of 80 will suffer from enlarged prostate. (25 % in their 50’s)  but prostate cancer does not affect all. Only 10 % of the patients have chances of conversion of BPH into Prostate Cancer. The most common cancer affecting the prostate is Adenocarcinoma of the Prostate.
There is a test called PSA levels exam which helps to determine whether the Enlarged Prostate gland is going to become cancerous. PSA levels of < 4ng/ ml have probability of Cancer at about 10 %. If the PSA levels are more than 10 ng/ ml, the probability increases to more than 50 %.
So regular monitoring of PSA levels is must in case of enlarged prostate gland.
