While Ayurvedic herbs such as Saw Palmetto, Gokshura, Punarnava, and Varun are sometimes used to ease urinary symptoms, there is no Ayurvedic treatment proven to shrink an enlarged prostate to its normal size. You should continue taking Alfusin Tablet (Alfuzosin) as prescribed and consult your doctor or urologist before trying any herbal remedies, as stopping or changing your medication may worsen your symptoms.

  1. Overview of Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia (BPH)

    • BPH is a non-cancerous enlargement of the prostate gland, common in older men, causing urinary symptoms.

  2. Role of Alfuzosin in BPH Management

    • Alfuzosin helps relieve symptoms by relaxing prostate and bladder muscles, improving urine flow but not reducing prostate size.

  3. Ayurvedic Approaches to BPH

    • Herbs like Gokshura, Punarnava, and Varuna are traditionally used for symptom relief and urinary function improvement.

  4. Evidence and Limitations

    • Scientific evidence on Ayurvedic treatments for reducing prostate size is limited. Consult a qualified Ayurvedic practitioner for personalized advice.

  5. Integrative Care and Safety Considerations

    • Continue prescribed medications like Alfuzosin unless advised otherwise. Inform healthcare providers about any herbal supplements to avoid interactions.

  6. When to Seek Further Medical Advice

    • Seek prompt medical attention for symptoms like urinary retention or blood in urine. Consider a urologist referral if symptoms worsen.
