Vatashtheela is a condition in consequence with some kind of obstructive uropathy either mechanical or functional related either to upper or lower urinary tract resulting into either partial or complete retention of urine. It is a disease afflicting “Mootravaha Srotas”. Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia (BPH), causes lower urinary tract symptoms. It is a common disorder of ageing male.[1] The symptoms can be obstructive such as urinary hesitancy, weak stream straining or prolonged voiding, irritative such as increased urinary frequency and urgency nocturia urge incontinence and reduced voiding volumes. A revolutionary treatment approach to this disease is Matra Basti therapy. In modern medicine, Finasteride, Alpha–adrenergic blockers, (example –Tamuslosin, Terazosin, Alfazocin etc.) and TURP [Trans-Urethral Resection of Prostate] are used to treat Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia but there are lots of disadvantages of these medicines and surgery.[2]
