Hi All,
Has anyone had luck with benign prostatic hyperplasia? I am open to suggestions.
The problem is a catheter is keeping the urieter open, but he has lost most control of the sphincter. The Urologist said come back on June 5th for more tests. That seems like a long wait.
Benign prostatic hyperplasia is a common condition for elderly males. The patient is 76 years old. The prostate swells and squeezes the urethra that runs through it. For years before the ureter closed, he had the typical probls, with urination.
My patient has a catheter so I have been waiting for the catheter to be removed so that I can have some symptoms that are not caused by the catheter. It has been a month since the urine stop making the catheter necessary. Antibiotics are being given because the urethra is also infected.
The patient has a family history of venous return problems and his aorta is partially narrowed by plaque. So, I am thinking of giving a snake remedy that matches his personality. Cenchris contortrix. Mainly I am thinking about blood flow to the prostate.
At the time of when the ureter stopped passing urine, I took the case. I got Lycopodium and Silicea. Silicea is a gppd remedy for his other problems. I gave Lyc, but it did nothing in that emergency.
He is being given Sabal (Saw Pallemeto) in tincture and in potency 6c, occasional Staphasagria for the insult to a sexual organ, Crategus (Hawthorn) in herbal tincture.
He is becoming very irritable because of the antibiotic. He is able to push out a little urine when he takes off the cap from the catheter. Now, for most of the day, he does not use a bag. He says he is pushing the urine out from around the catheter. Clearly exercise such as walking improves his condition, but after a month of this catheter he is also becoming depressed and moves less.
I am open to any tips or thoughts. I saw an interesting article on Uro lift. It looks like a mechnical method to open up the ureter where it runs through the prostate. http://www.ucihealth.org/medical-servic ... thral-lift Has anyone had experience with it?

Assuming it’s only BPH and nothing else going on (like a history of STDs, or cancer, or paralysis of the bladder or its sphincter), the following rubric might give you some suggestions:

bladder; RETENTION of urine; catheter, had to be emptied by (19) : 4OP., 4SOLID., 3Caust., 3Lob., 3Pareir., 3Sabal., 3Sec., 3Sulph., 2apis, ap-g., arn., ars., cadm-p., kali-cy., phos., polytr., sulfon., thlaspi, vesi.

Peace,
Dale

Hi Dale,
That’s a nice rubric. Did you get it in Synthesis? I should look up catheter in the literature.
Thank you,
Ellen

I had cuccesss with this.

Interesting. Polypharmacy. I would be using the Saw Pallemeto (Sabal) in potency and something from Dale's rubric. So, two remedies at once, but I would try to match the remedy to the patient. Thanks,
Ellen

Hi, Ellen

The rubric came from MacRep. Solidago is worth considering. Note this from Anshutz: "A lady, by administering, morning and evening, an infusion of the dry leaves and flowers of Golden Rod (Solidago virgaurea) tells me that she cured her husband of an affection of the bladder which had compelled him to use a catheter for a year or more.
"A friend of homeopathy desired to test the energetics of this plant. He had the first dilution of its tincture to be taken three times a day by seven patients. From forty-two to seventy-fours years of age. They had been obliged to catheterize themselves for weeks, months and years.
"Homeopathy cured them so thoroughly that they had no relapses. Surgeons who spend much time in catheterizing such patients for months and years could often cure them much more rapidly by prescribing for them the remedy just mentioned."

Are you sure there’s no history of STDs? If the patient had gonorrhea in the past, he may have tissue overgrowth within the urethra, which would require somewhat different treatment (or a roto-rooter operation).

Peace,
Dale

There is nothing wrong with poly-pharmacy, as long as:

1. each remedy is chosen according to the needs of the patient and more specifically the expression of the problem to be treated

2. it is well understood that the aim of the treatment is local, focal and temporary

I consider both benign and malignant tumours as "one-sided pathologies" that have escaped the control of the normal physiology; although reinforcing and normalising the physiology can and does help restore control, there is no reason no to help it with other interventions. Our goal is to help and cure the patient, and nothing else.
