The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of Ayurvedic therapy in voiding dysfunction with special reference to post prostatectomy atonic bladder. In this study, 30 men with post prostatectomy (both open and Transurethral Resection of the Prostate) poor detrusor contractility with altered bladder wall thickness were registered in this study. Registered patients were divided into two groups. Trial group patients were treated with alternate Anuvasan basti and Asthapan basti following specific regime of basti therapy for 21days while control group patients were treated with Trazocin (5mg) for 21days. Bladder wall thickness and post voidal residual volume of urine was used as assessment parameter. Ayurvedic therapy had better effect over Post Voidal Residual Volume of urine in Post prostatectomy atonic bladder as compared to that of standard anti-microbial therapy but significant change in bladder thickness was not seen in this study in both groups. Ayurvedic therapy has significant effect over Post Voidal Residual Volume of urine in Post prostatectomy atonic bladder
