HERBAL REMEDY FOR CHRONIC PELVIC PAIN SYNDROME OR PROSTATITIS

ABSTRACT

In adults the prostate normally weighs 20gm and it is a retroperitoneal organ surrounded by the neck of the bladder and urethra. It is divided into five different lobes and two of them are more prone to having tumors. When this part of the body is affected it mainly results in pain which is also related to Prostatitis, a very common syndrome seen in males. Chronic pelvic pain syndrome or prostatitis is a condition related to genitourinary parts and is mainly characterized by the feeling of pain below the belly button and between the hips which can last for more than 6 months. Today, in this article we are going to discuss Chronic pelvic pain syndrome or prostatitis along with its Ayurvedic treatment.

INTRODUCTION

Chronic pelvic pain syndrome or prostatitis can be seen at any age and there are multiple causes for the pain. In 90 percent of cases, the pain in the pelvis is one of the symptoms seen in non-bacterial prostatitis. It can be seen in both genders but is most commonly seen in males after the age of 50. The condition results in swelling of the prostate gland blocking the production of semen and also difficulty in urination.

CAUSES FOR CHRONIC PELVIC PAIN OR PROSTATITIS

Acute cases of prostatitis are seen due to common strains of bacterial infection. The bacterial infection can start when the bacteria starts to leak into the prostate through urine. If it is not treated then the bacteria may reoccur resulting in a chronic condition of prostatitis.

Damage to the nerve present in the lower urinary tract due to some surgery or trauma to the area results in prostatitis where bacterial infection is not the reason.

Risk Factors

There are few risk factors and this includes:-

• If you have previously suffered from prostatitis.
• Infection in the bladder can travel all the way to the semen.
• Injury or trauma caused during cycling or horse riding.
• The patient suffering from HIV/AIDS.

CLINICAL DIAGNOSIS

Physical examination is done in a patient where swelling is one of the main sign noted in the prostate and other clinical tests that can be done are

• Semen Test
• Urine Test
• Blood Test
• Prostate Biopsy
• Ultrasound of Prostate and Urethra
• Cystoscopy

TREATMENT FOR CHRONIC PELVIC PAIN SYNDROME

According to Allopaths, they will prescribe the patient alpha-blockers, anti-inflammatory drugs, steroids, and muscle relaxant drugs. This will only suppress the symptoms and it is not a proper cure for the disease. In the end, they will suggest the patient have a surgical method that will only make the condition worse.

According to Ayurveda Chronic pelvic pain syndrome is co-related to Ashtanga hridaya acharya vagbhata. The condition is caused due to disturbance of Vata dosha where a hard, glandular, stone-like structure is seen in malamarga (rectum). This results in frequent urination, dysuria and pain. It can be managed through herbal medicine which will help in removing the root cause of the disease.
