ABSTRACT
Benign prostatic hyperplasia is among the most common urological diseases in men and estimated to be 26.2% in men between the age group of 40-60 and above. There is a benign overgrowth of prostatic tissue resulting in lower urinary tract symptoms. The condition further leads to interference in daily activity of patients and create a negative impact on the quality of life. The management of BPH can be done by medical and surgical interferences but they are associated with few limitations. Ayurveda has its own principles in treating the condition, among which use of Kshara is one of them. The present clinical study deals with administration of Tilanala Kshara in the patients with clinical presentation of BPH, along with comparative analysis in the patients by administrating Tamsulosine Hydrochloride. The assessment score using International Prostate Symptom Score (IPSS) was carried out for changes in the subjective parameters. An effort has been made to evaluate the efficacy of Tilanala Kshara in patients with BPH, so that it can be used as an alternative treatment protocol for the disease BPH.
