Dr. Akshay Mathur presents a case of benign hypertrophy of prostate cured with a single remedy in LM potencies. The mentals provided the dominant clues.

I would like to have this opportunity today to discuss a case of Benign Hypertrophy of Prostate (BHP) (Homeopathy Treatment for Benign Prostate Hypertrophy).  This patient is a 64 year old male, a retired Group Director from the Dept. of Space, who presented with symptoms of increased urinary frequency, more at night, and dribbling of urine at closure. His current Prostate size was 4.6 X 4.4 X 3.6 cms as per the latest ultrasound report (attached) which showed a consistent increase in size since few years.

The presenting generalities of this patient were :

Appetite- was normal, just that he was not able to tolerate any hunger.

Desires – Non vegetarian food++, peanuts+++, spicy food, warm food; cold drinks

Perspiration- was minimal, only occasionally on the back and axillary areas.

Sleep- It was difficult for him to sleep; sleep was unrefreshing.

Mental Generals- He was a happy go lucky person, wanted to socialize, does want to take any kind of stress etc.

Upon further intensive case taking as to the time of onset of all the symptoms, he reluctantly revealed that the symptoms may have started since the time of his retirement when his superior officer didn’t sanction an extension period for him, even though his work required for him to stay. He felt extremely hurt but was helpless and was retired. He said he tried to adjust to his retired life, and has been successful now, but still feels that he should have been granted the extension.

Looking at the onset circumstances, his desires, he was prescribed Ignatia Amara in 50 millesimal potency, twice a day with increasing potency every month from 0/1 to 0/9 currently. For the first 20 days he reported no change in the symptoms but after that his symptoms started reducing gradually and today very minimal symptoms are present and also his prostate size is absolutely normal of 3.2 X 3.1 X 2.6 cms (report attached).

There are 2 things which I would want to highlight in this case. First is that the silent grief, conflict and the rigidity (found in the Ignatia nut) was found in this case which was also supported by the desires the patient exhibited. Secondly, it is also retrospectively studied that whenever prostate is affected in a person, prostate being an exclusively male organ, there can be a male to male conflict in the patient’s life history which manifests in the male body organ. Since this patient’s conflict was also to his superior boss, Ignatia was prescribed and it worked beautifully.

About the author

Akshay Mathur

Dr. Akshay Mathur – I have been practicing Homoeopathy for 12 years. My father is also a Homoeopath so I guess I got it from him. I run my two private clinics. I have done a two level course/ workshops with ISABS (Indian Society for Applied Behavioural Sciences) and am pursuing my Masters in Psychiatry currently. In my practice, I follow the classical method of prescribing, single medicine, single dose. I do not practice polypharmacy or those combinations available in the market. For all chronic cases, I do some psychoanalysis with a thorough case taking which helps me in treating those cases. I also run special OPD's for autistic children, knowing that Homoeopathy has a brilliant role in autism.
