Abstract

ABSTRACT :-

Benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) is a common benign disease that causes voiding dysfunction in elderly male patients and to various extents, impairs their quality of life. Original studies of BPH pathogenesis identified androgen and aging as risk factors, and more recent studies have identified additional risk factors, such as genetics, diet, immune status, metabolism, and inflammation. Studies of BPH patients with metabolic disorders, such as diabetes and obesity, have found a positive correlation between fasting glucose level and the progression of BPH. A positive correlation has also been shown between hyperlipidemia and the progression of  BPH. Although there have been multiple studies on the progression of BPH in patients with systemic metabolic disorders, Here, planned to chose elderly patients with type 2 diabetes and studied their BPH in correlation to body mass index (BMI) and glucose levels, aiming to explore the relationships between aging, obesity, hyperglycemia, and BPH. Ayurveda mention many natural medication and procedures for, among which Kshara. is one of the potent preparation that helps to effectively breakdown the pathogenesis of Sthoulya, madhumeha and BPH due to its property and potency.
