Benign prostatic hyperplasia treated with individualised homoeopathic medicines: An evidence-based case series

Abstract

The study aimed to evaluate the effects of homoeopathic treatment in patients with benign prostatic Hypertrophy (BPH). This was an experimental study conducted using the primary data and assessed based on clinical symptoms and pathological reports. A total of three cases were included in this study. BPH was diagnosed based on clinical symptoms and ultrasonography reports. The patients were prescribed Lycopodium clavatum, Thuja occidentalis and Arsenicum album based on clinical signs, the totality of symptoms and individualisation. Dietary changes were recommended as well. Improvement was assessed based on symptom reduction and changes in ultrasonography reports. All three patients improved clinically and pathologically, including a reduction in prostate size. This case series provides evidence that individualised homoeopathic treatment is effective in pathological conditions such as BPH, in both symptom relief and pathological changes.
