*Dr. Rutuja Vijay Raut and Dr. Shilpa Badhe

ABSTRACT

This study investigates the efficacy of Devadarvyadi Kwath, an Ayurvedic formulation, in managing Bladder Outlet Obstruction (BOO), focusing on its ability to alleviate urinary symptoms and improve quality of life. A single-arm observational clinical trial was conducted with 10 male patients aged 50–59 years, diagnosed with BOO, who presented symptoms of urinary obstruction. The intervention involved administering Devadarvyadi Kwath (40 ml twice daily for 20 days). Patients were assessed on both subjective parameters (e.g., frequency, urgency, hesitancy) and objective measures (e.g., post-void residual urine,). Results indicated that 70% of participants experienced significant symptomatic relief, with improvements in urinary flow and reduced residual urine, while 30% showed moderate improvement. No adverse effects were reported. These findings support the potential of Devadarvyadi Kwath as a non-invasive, safe, and effective alternative to conventional BOO treatments. Further research with larger sample sizes and longer follow-up periods is warranted to confirm these results.
