Abstract

: Background: Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia (BPH) is a prevalent condition in aging men, often leading to lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS) and reduced quality of life. This case series evaluates the efficacy of individualized Homeopathic Treatments for BPH symptoms.

Significant reductions in IPSS scores and prostate size were observed, alongside symptom relief and quality - of - life improvements. Homeopathy, being a holistic approach, shows potential in alleviating these symptoms with minimal side effects. The findings suggest that homeopathy offers a promising, well tolerated alternative for managing BPH symptoms. Methods: Seven patients diagnosed with BPH were treated using individualized homeopathic remedies. Outcomes were assessed through International Prostate Symptom Scores (IPSS), prostate size measurements, and patient - reported improvements in urinary symptoms and quality of life. Results: Significant improvements were observed following homeopathic treatment, including reductions in IPSS scores, prostate size, and improvements in urinary symptoms and general well - being. The treatment was well tolerated, with no reported side effects. Conclusion: This case series suggests that individualized homeopathic treatment may offer a beneficial approach to…
