ABSTRACT

This case report investigates the efficacy of traditional Ayurvedic treatment modalities in managing symptoms of carcinoma of the urinary bladder, highlighting both clinical outcomes and changes in quality of life indicators. Initial assessment revealed severe symptoms of urinary dysfunction, marked hydronephrosis, and notable prostatomegaly, confirmed through diagnostic ultrasonography which indicated latent neoplastic pathology. Over a treatment course spanning three months, the patient received tailored Ayurvedic therapies aimed at detoxifying the body, enhancing metabolic functions, and restoring doshic balance, without referencing specific medicinal compounds. Post-treatment evaluations demonstrated significant improvements. Objective measurements from ultrasonography illustrated changes such as decreased bladder wall irregularity and diminished hydronephrosis. Subjective assessments showed a dramatic reduction in the severity of symptoms: the International Prostate Symptom Score (IPSS) decreased from 28/35 to 10/35, and the Modified Medical Research Council (mMRC) Dyspnea Scale improved from 4/4 to 1/4. Furthermore, the Western Ontario and McMaster Universities Osteoarthritis Index (WOMAC) score for knee joint pain improved from 80/96 to 30/96, suggesting enhanced joint function and reduced pain. These findings suggest that Ayurvedic interventions could serve as effective complementary treatments for managing specific symptoms of bladder carcinoma, supporting further research into their integrative use in oncology. The results advocate for the inclusion of Ayurvedic practices in holistic cancer care, promising improvements in patient outcomes and quality of life.
