Abstract
Acharya Sushruta in his heritage wonder writing clearly defines the old age disease Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia as Vatashtheela which is one of the 13 types of Mutraghata. The vitiation of Vata is the major factor which causes difficulty in passing Mutra(urine), Shakrit(faeces) and Vata due to the presence of swelling in the urinary tract. This is a major problem which brings troubling symptoms like nocturia, intermittent, dribbling, hesitancy, and straining in old age patients. Surgical interventions like TURP are the last resort but it holds the risk of hemorrhage, stricture, retrograde ejaculation and recurrence producing a major burden on the health care system. In order to dispose of this clinical condition Matra Basti was planned in a patient aged 60 years for 15 days with Shilodbhidadi taila and significant improvement was noted in both subjective and objective parameters of the patient. This case report underscores the importance of developing a treatment approach specifically tailored for elderly patients that is outpatient-based, minimally invasive, and carries a low risk of complications, unlike the existing treatment options.
