The Journey to Relief, Homeopathy's Approach to Distressing Prostatitis
Prostatitis is inflammation of the prostate gland, which is a small gland situated beneath the bladder in men. Different types of prostatitis include chronic, acute bacterial, chronic bacterial and asymptomatic prostatitis. Symptoms may include pain in the lower abdomen, pain around the genitals, urgency to urinate, incomplete evacuation of urination, pain during urination and ejaculation etc. Most cases of prostatitis are caused by bacteria called E. coli. Sexually transmitted infections can also cause bacterial prostatitis. Factors that can increase your risk of getting prostatitis include a urinary catheter inserted, bladder infection, pelvic trauma, enlarged prostate etc.
Prostatitis can be diagnosed with the help of CT scan, MRI, trans rectal ultrasound, cystoscopy etc.
Case study:
A 47-year-old patient with the Patient ID- 46153 sought treatment at the Life Force Homeopathy Jayanagar branch on August 29, 2021, reporting symptoms of prostatitis persisting for a year. His chief complaints included burning sensation during urination, lower abdominal and groin pain, a feeling of incomplete emptying of the bladder, and occasional post-urination dripping. He also experienced heightened urgency to urinate particularly in the morning hours. Despite these symptoms, his prostate size was within normal limits, and his PSA level was normal as well. The patient endured severe episodes of these symptoms, occurring 3-4 times annually and lasting for 3-4 days each time. His condition showed a gradual progression over time.
His medical history, including past ailments and family medical background, was thoroughly reviewed and updated. Additionally, his treatment history was gathered and updated. A comprehensive case assessment was conducted, encompassing both his mental and physical attributes.
Physical generals:
He is non-vegetarian diet with a moderate appetite and no specific food cravings. He maintained an average level of thirst, consuming approximately 2-3 litres of water daily. Experiencing excessive sweating throughout his body, he exhibited intolerance to hot climates. His bowel movements were irregular, and he suffered from urinary symptoms associated with prostatitis. Despite his health issues, he reported sound sleep patterns.
Mental generals:
A thorough inquiry into the patient's mental state was conducted and duly noted in his case file. He expressed feelings of insecurity regarding his unmarried status and shared the burden of familial responsibility, stemming from childhood experiences where he had to shoulder the family's obligations due to his father's lack of involvement. Described as talkative, he often experienced a sense of loneliness.
Furthermore, his intellectual capacities, encompassing memory, logic, intelligence, perception, and analytical skills, were evaluated.
A comprehensive systemic and general examination was carried out, including measurements of weight and blood pressure, all of which were meticulously recorded.
Dr.Shah prescribed Phosphoric-acid-30 based on his case details.
Follow-ups:
During the initial follow-up on October 11, 2021, the patient's condition showed improvement by approximately 30-40%. The burning sensation had subsided, and there was a reduction in the frequency of urination. However, dribbling of urine persisted, along with a lingering sensation of incomplete emptying, particularly noticeable in the early morning.
At the subsequent follow-up on December 6, 2021, the patient's progress continued, indicating further improvement.
By May 22, 2022, the patient reported a substantial enhancement in his condition, achieving a recovery rate of 70-80%. Occasional instances of burning sensation during urination were noted, but all other symptoms had significantly alleviated.
On July 24, 2022, the patient's improvement reached 90%, marking a remarkable turnaround. Expressing gratitude towards Dr. Shah and the entire team at Life Force Homeopathy, the patient conveyed immense satisfaction with the treatment outcomes.
