Frequent urination during day and night. At times urine is dripping and uncontrollable. - #24956

Murugesan Reddiar

I am 82 years old. I have high blood pressure and leg swelling due to lymphedema. I am taking Metosartan 25, Nicardia 10 for blood pressure and Voltam plus for frequent urination. Pressure is under control, but frequent urination at night disturbs my sleep. I tried Ayurveda medicines also and they did no help much.

Age: 82
Chronic illnesses: None

Namaste Murugesan ji 🙏, Thank you for sharing your health concerns. At 82 years of age, you are managing your blood pressure well(as you mentioned blood pressure under control) , which is a great achievement. The frequent night urination (nocturia) and leg swelling due to lymphedema are understandably affecting your sleep and comfort.

Certain investigation has to be done like 1 Usg (abdo + pelvis ) to rule out benign prostate hypertrophy, which is common in old age and causes frequent urination.

** Ayurvedic Perseptive**:

In Ayurveda, frequent urination at night (especially in elderly) can be due to:

1 Apana Vata imbalance (the dosha governing urination and elimination) 2 Weakness of bladder muscles and age-related decline in “Ojas” 3 Kapha obstruction and fluid retention in legs (lymphedema-related)

🌿 Ayurvedic Suggestions:

1️⃣ Dietary Modifications (very gentle and elder-safe)

✅ Take light, early dinner – before 7:30 PM ✅ Reduce fluid intake after 7 PM (especially tea/milk) ✅ Prefer warm, easy-to-digest food like moong dal, rice, pumpkin, bottle gourd ❌ Avoid salty, sour, and heavy dinner (it increases fluid retention)

2️⃣ Gentle Home Remedies

Before bedtime: • Take ¼ tsp nutmeg (jaiphal) powder with warm milk (once daily) → It helps calm Apana Vata and reduce nighttime urination

3️⃣ Ayurvedic Medicines You Can Discuss With Your Doctor:

1 Chandraprabha vati 2-0-2 after food (This will work on your apana vayu) 2 vasthaymanthaka ghrita 1 tsp at 6pm followed by warm water (this will strengthen the bladder)

Lifestyle Tips:

• Elevate legs slightly while lying down (to reduce swelling) • Slow ankle rotations 2–3 times daily to improve circulation • Avoid daytime naps if sleep at night is disturbed

Important Note:

Since you’re already taking Metosartan, Nicardia, and Voltam Plus, do not stop or change any allopathic medicines on your own. Ayurveda works best as supportive care to improve quality of life in the elderly.

You are already doing very well managing your blood pressure. The focus now should be on: ✅Improving sleep ✅Reducing leg swelling ✅Gentle bladder support — not harsh medications

With this Ayurvedic plan, you may experience improvement in sleep and urination without side effects.

Wishing you peaceful nights and good health Warm regards, Dr. Snehal Vidhate

Hello, 1. What is the size of prostate gland(as you are already on voltam plus)? 2. Since how long you are on metosartan25 and nicardia10?

The answer to the above will help you answer the question more appropriately.

Till then reducing the water/liquid intake after 4PM(or) just sipping few sips will help a bit to reduce the urine frequency at nights.

Take care. Kind regards.

Suggestions to Reduce Night Urination & Improve Sleep

1. Daytime Leg Elevation + Gentle Movement

Lie down with legs raised above heart level for 1–2 hours in the late afternoon.

This helps drain leg fluid before bedtime and reduces nighttime urine production.

Use gentle compression stockings if advised by your doctor.

2. Limit Evening Fluid Intake

Avoid drinking water 2–3 hours before bed.

Restrict caffeine, tea, and excess soup at night.

4. Natural Supplements-

Some mild natural aids may help:

Ashwagandha (for sleep): 1 capsule at night can help calm the nervous system.

Varunadi Kwath or Chandraprabha Vati Useful if BPH is contributing.

Shilajit with Gokshura: Sometimes used in age-related urinary discomfort, but needs supervision.

Follow Sleep Hygiene for Seniors

Avoid screens and bright lights before bed.

Maintain a routine sleep schedule.

Avoid long daytime naps.

HELLO MURUGESAN REDDIAR,

Age- 82 Complaints- frequent urination(day and night), dribbling, and occasional incontinence, tiredness, mild imbalance/vertigo while walking

Chronic conditions= hypertension(well controlled with Metosartan 25 and Nicardia 10), lymphedema(leg swelling )

Medications= voltam plus(likely for urinary issues)

Based on age and symptoms -Benign prostatic hyperplasia(BPH) is highly likely -possible overactive bladder(OAB) or bladder outlet obstruction -post void dribbling and urge incontinence may be due to incomplete bladder emptying

A uroflow merry or prostate ultrasound could confirm this.

ACCORDING TO AYURVEDA,

-frequent urination, dribbling, and urgency indicate a condition close to mutrakrichra, mootraghata, or vataja pramhea - lymphedema and fatigue indicates rasa- rakta dhatu vitiation, poor lymphatic return, and ama(toxins) accumulation -vertigo and imbalance with age represent aggravated vata affecting the nervous system -old age= jaravastha a vata Pradhan condition- requiring strengthening, unctuous and warm therapies

TREATMENT GOAL -improve bladder tone and control urine output - reduce prostate cogestion- if BPH is present - nourish and rejuvinate urinary tract -address lymphatic congestion and fatigue - correct vata ibalance causing nocturne and vertigo - ensure bp stays controlled and does not worsen edema

TREATMENT INTERNALLY

1) VARUNADI KWATH- 20 ml with water twice daily before meals =prostate decongestant, improves urine flow

2) CHANDRAPRABHA VATI- 2 tabs twice daily after food with warm water =urinary antiseptic , anti inflammatory, vata paha pacifying

3) SHILAJIT RASAYAN VATI- 1 tab once daily in morning =rejuvinative, adaptogenic, anti ageing

4) GOKSHURADI GUGGULU- 2 tabs twice daily after food =diuretic, antiinflammatory, strengthens bladder

5) PUNARNAVA MANDOR- 2 tabs twice daily with lukewarm water =improves lymphatic drainage, reduces leg swelling

6) ASHWAGANDHA CHURNA- 1 tsp with warm milk at night = nervine tonic, relieves fatigue

START for 6-8 weeks, and medicines must be from AVP, Arya Vaida sala, badiyanath, dabur or himalaya brand

EXTERNAL THERAPIES

1) OIL MASSAGE - with ksheerbala taila full body thrice weekly =vata calming, improves circulation, reduces imbalance

2) STEAM- lower limbs daily =reduces leg swelling, lymphatic stagnation

DIET RECOMMENDATIONS -warm, light and easy to digest foods= khichdi, rice gruel, moong dal -boiled or steamed vegetables = bottle gourd, ash gourd, pumpkin - barley water or powder- diuretic - cumin, coriander, fennel, cardamon tea - cows ghee- 1 tsp daily with food -pumpkin seeds- 1 tsp daily ( beneficial for prostate) -warm milk with turmeric and ashwagadha at night- helps sleep, nourishes tissues

AVOID -cold, stale, heavy, or fried foods -fermented foods, curd especially at night - excess fluid intake after 6 pm - tea/coffee after evening - salted snacks or pickles

LIFESTYLE ADVICES -fluid restriction after 6Pm= encourage drinking most fluid before too - pelvic floor exercise(kegels)= strengthens bladder and urinary spincter -Elevate legs during rest= helps reduce swelling and improves circulation -Use a urinal at bedside to reduce night falls - gentle walking and chair supported yoga like -pawanmuktasana - vrikshasana(with wall support) for balance - bhramari pranayam and anulom vilom for nervous system and vertigo

DO FOLLOW

HOPE THIS MIGHT BE HELPFUL

THANK YOU

Frequent urination, especially at night, can be quite disrupting indeed. From an Ayurvedic perspective, the balance of the doshas is central to addressing this issue. It might be helpful to explore an imbalance in the Vata dosha, particularly Apana Vata, which governs the elimination process.

To address this, you could try incorporating some natural remedies and lifestyle modifications. Start by reducing fluid intake a couple of hours before bedtime. It’s also crucial to avoid caffeine and alcohol, as they can act as diuretics and may irritate the bladder.

In terms of diet, focus on a warm, well-cooked foods which are easier on digestion and can help balance Vata. Avoid excessively spicy, oily, or heavy foods, as they can aggravate your condition. Including spices like cumin, fennel, and coriander may aid digestion and calm the system.

Try practicing certain yoga postures that support bladder health and calm the nervous system, like Setu Bandhasana (Bridge pose) and Viparita Karani (Legs-up-the-wall pose) before bed.

Incomplete bladder emtying can cause urinary “dribbling”, so after you’ve finished urinating, gently lean forward to help ensure the bladder empties completely. This might reduce the urge to urinate often.

A herbal formulation such as Chandraprabha Vati might be helpful, but given your medication regime, it’s essential to consult an Ayurvedic practitioner before starting any herbal remedies to ensure it doesn’t interact with your current medications.

While these measures might offer some relief, it’s important to consult with your healthcare provider to rule out underlying conditions that may require medical intervention. Frequent urination can sometimes be a sign of bladder or urinary infections, or other medical conditions requiring immediate care.

HELLO MURUGESAN REDDIAR,

Frequent urination during the day and night, especially with episodes of dribbling and poor bladder control, can significantly impact quality of life- particularly at 82 years of age

In Ayurveda, your symptoms may relate to a condition called -mutrakrichra= difficulty in urination -mutraghata = obstructed urination or in some case prameha

Vata dosha imbalance particularly apana vata, often plays a major role in urinary incontinence and frequency especially in elderly

AYURVEDIC MANAGEMENT

1) DIET -warm, moist foods=easily digestible foods like khichdi, warm milk, moong dal -AVOID= caffeine, soda, alcohol, spicy or overly sour foods -pumpkin seeds

2) LIFESTYLE -keep lower abdomen and pelvic area warm, cold and aggravate vata - do gentle yoga, especially moola bandha and Ashwini mudra for pelvic floor support -avoid holding urine for long periods

3) INTERNALLY TAKE

- HIMPLASIA(BY HIMALAYA)= 1 tab twice daily after meals =used for benign prostate issues, bladder weakness and dribbling

-PROSTOVIN(BY BAIDYANTH)= 2 tabs twice daily with warm water =prostate related urinarbysymptoms -hesistancy, frequent urination and incomplete voiding

- PUNARNAVA MANDUR= 1 tab twice daily after meals =reduces swelling/edema and support kidney and rinary function

-GOKSHURADI GUGGULU= 2 tabs twice daily with warm water = strengthens urinary tract, bladder tone, and supports prostate health

-ASHWAGANDHA LEHYAM= 1 tsp with warm milk at bedtime =helps in urine incontinence is due to sphincter or nerve weakness

-TRIPHALA GUGGULU= 1 tab twice daily before meals = mild detox

THANK YOU

DR. HEMANSHU MEHTA
