Hello Thank​‍​‌‍​‍‌​‍​‌‍​‍‌ you for providing a clear explanation of your symptoms. At your age, you might find frequent urination, incomplete emptying, and urgency quite tiring and sleep-disrupting. However, you should not be concerned as we are here to assist you 😊

✅ AYURVEDIC UNDERSTANDING Your symptoms are typical of an overlap of:

➡️ Mutravaha Srotas Dushti Frequent urination Urgency Feeling of incomplete voiding

➡️ Vata Imbalance It is mainly Apana Vata aggravation, which is typical of the elderly, that results in: Dribbling urine Weak urine stream Frequent urge after 10–15 minutes

➡️ Prostate Enlargement (Mutraghata / Vatashtila) A mildly enlarged gland presses on the urethra and causes: Delayed emptying Frequent small-volume urination Nocturia (night-time urination)

The values of the kidneys function (creatinine 2.31, BUN 55, GFR 44) also reflect the situation of the Mutravaha Srotas being compromised thus the solutions should be gentle and safe.

✅ AYURVEDIC PLAN OF TREATMENT

✅ INTERNAL MEDICATION

1. Varunadi Kashayam 10 ml morning + 30ml water evening with warm water Helps to reduce the swelling of the prostate Reduces urgency and burning

2. Punarnava Mandur 1 tablet once daily Enhances kidney function and relieves fluid retention

3. Chandraprabha Vati 1 tablet at bedtime (Improves urine flow, reduces frequency)

✅ HOME REMEDIES

These are the remedies you asked for with the addition of alsi (flax seeds).

👉Alsi (Flax Seeds) Water Take a teaspoon of roasted flax seeds and lightly crush Put into one cup of warm water for 2 hours Strain and drink slowly Benefits: -Reduces the inflammatory process around the prostate Increases urinary flow

👉 Barley Water (Jau Water) 1 tbsp of barley is boiled in 4 cups of water Water is reduced to 3 cups Drink throughout the day

Benefits: Natural diuretic Reduces urine irritation

👉 Pomegranate (Anar) Juice – 50–60 ml daily Anti-inflammatory Helps prostate health Suitable for heart patients

👉 Warm Sitz Bath Sit in a tub of comfortably warm water for 10 minutes Twice daily Benefits: Pelvic muscles relax → urgency is relieved Urine flow gets better

👉Pumpkin Seeds (Kaddu ke beej) 1 tbsp daily (chew well) Rich in zinc → gives energy to the functions of the prostate

👉Coriander Seeds Water 1 tsp coriander seeds soaked overnight Drink that water in the morning Help to lessen the urgency of micturition and irritation.

✅ DIET AND LIFESTYLE MODIFICATION

✔️Foods to Include Warm water (do not overhydrate yourself during the night) Dudhi (bottle gourd), tinda, torai Rice gruel, moong dal Black raisins soaked

❌Foods to Reduce Tea/coffee after evenings Very sour foods Spicy items (cause burning/urgency) Cold drinks

✔️Night Routine

Water intake should be limited after 7 PM Empty your bladder before going to bed Light walk after ​‍​‌‍​‍‌​‍​‌‍​‍‌dinner

With gentle Ayurvedic herbs and safe home remedies you can experience much better bladder control and comfort.

Wishing you a good health😊

Warm Regards Dr Snehal Vidhate

ThoAt your age frequent urination every 1-2 hours with the feeling of incomplete emptying usually happens because the prostate is slightly enlarged the bladder becomes weak and kidney function ( high creatinine) makes urine concentrated and increases urge which irritates the bladder so the urge repeats within 10 minutes even though very little urine is produced. To reduce this frequency and support the kidney health you can start Chandraprabha vati 1 BD PUNARNAVA TAB 1 BD VARUNADI KASHAYAM 15 ml + 15 ml water after food Avoid cold water limit tea / coffee Continue the previous medication as using before

HELLO,

You are 84 year old and experiencing -urinating every 2 hours -getting up several times at night -feeling bladder is not completely empty -10 min after passing urine, feeling like going again -slighltyy elarged prostate -kidneyy function reduced (GFR 44-> stage 3 CKD) -taking mediicnes for Bp, heart, kidneys

WHY THIS HAPPENS As men age, the prostate gland naturally increases In size. This gland sits like a ring around the urinary tube (urethra). When it swells even slightly -the urine pipe becomes narrower -bladder becomes overactive -you feel the urge repeatedly -urine flow becomes weak -incomplete emptying happens

HOW KIDNEY DISEASE ADDS TO THE PROBLEM Your kidney are not filtering waste properly. This causes -irritatioon in urinary tract -more fluid retention -weak bladder muscles -more frequent urination, especially at night -increased sensitivity of the bladdr

In Ayurveda You condition involves -Vata aggravation (dryness, aging, obstruction, frequent urination) -Kapha blockage (enlarged prostate causing obstruction) -Mutravaha srotas dushti (urinary channel imbalance ) -Apana vata disturbance (controls urination) -Rasa- rakta dushti affecting kidneys

So , the overall picture is -vata increased + kapha obstruction + weakened kidney urinary system

TREATMENT GOALS -reduce frequency of urianrtion -reduce prostate related obstruction -soothe bladder irritation -imprve bladder emptying -support kidney function safely -improve quality of sleep -reduce inflammation -strengthen apana vata -prevent further kidney decline

INTERNAL MEDICATIONS

1) GOSKHURADI GUGGULU== 2 tabs twice daily after meals = supports. urinary flow, reduces burning, helps prostate , reduces irritation

2)PUNARNAVA CAPSULE= 500mg cap twice daily after meals =helps reduce swelling, supports kidneys, reduces urianry frequency ,works as a natural diuretic

3) VARUNADI KASHAYA= 15 ml + equal water twice daily before meals =classical remedy for prostate obstruction, reduces swelling of prostate zone, improves urine flow

4) CHANDRAPRABHA VATI= 1 tab twice daily after meals =traditionally used for frequent urination, bladder irritation, prostate support

5) KANCHANAR GUGGULU= 1 tab twice daily after meals =reduces glandular swelling like prostate enlargement

HOME REMEDIES

1) BARLEY WATER= boil 2 tbsp barley in 1 L water, reduces to 3/4 Liter. sip through the day=reduces urinary irritation, helps bladder, light and kidney friendly

2) CORIANDER + FENNEL SEED WATER= sip cool- cooling, reduces bladder sensitivity

3) PUMPKIN SEEDS = 1/2 tsp daily- traditionally support for prostate health

4) WARM SITZ BATH= sit warm water for 10 min- relaxes pelvic muscles and improves urine flow

5) GHEE = 1 tsp daily- supports vata balance and bowel regulate

LIFESTYLE CHANGES -Maintainregular bowel movements= hot water in morning, mung dal soup, light dinner -Avoid sitting for long take breaks every 45 min to walk -Reduce fluid intake at night= stop water 2-3 hours before sleeping -Do not hold urine= holding irritates bladder further -Keep pelvic area warm= avoid cold surfaces and cold weather exposure

YOGA ASANAS -Baddha konasana= improves pelvic circulation -vajrasana= helps reduce gas -supta baddha konasana= very soothing for prostate area -marjari asana= improves lower abdomen circulation

PRANAYAM -anulom vilom= 10 rounds- balances vata -Bhramari= calms mind and bladder overactivity -Deep diaphragmatic breathing= reduces nighttime urination frequent

DIET -warm water -mung dal , mung khichdi -rice kanjee -bottel gourd, ash gourd, pumpkin, ridge gourd -ripe fruits = pear, grapes , watermelon daytime only -pomegranate -barley preparations -light soups

AVOID -curd at night -spicy, sour, oily foods -caffeinated drinks -tomato, brinjal can irritate bladder -red meat -pickles, chutneys -fried foods -heavy lentils -excess salt -alcohol

Your symptoms are common at your age, especially with mild prostate enlargement an reduced kidney function Diet, lifestyle and yoga are safe foundations

DO FOLLOW

HOPE THIS MIGHT BE HELPFUL

THANK YOU

Frequent urination and feeling of incomplete bladder emptying at your age, especially with a slightly enlarged prostate, indicates a common issue likely due to benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH). Your current condition involving hypertension, heart medication, and kidney problems requires careful balancing of treatments. First and foremost, ensure you talk to your healthcare provider about your prostate issues, they may consider medications or other interventions suited to your needs.

From an Ayurvedic perspective, maintaining balance in the body can help. You might find some relief through dietary and lifestyle changes. Try to reduce intake of caffeine and alcohol, as they can increase urine production. Also, avoid drinking large amounts of fluids at one time instead sip gradually through the day. Focus on warming and nourishing foods, which are suspected to pacify Vata dosha, potentially responsible for such urinary issues.

Including barley, a diuretic in a gentle way, in your diet might be beneficial. You can make barley water and drink it cool. Consider consuming pumpkin seeds known for prostate health, a moderate amount like a small handful daily might help.

Ensuring regular bowel movements can reduce pressure on the bladder, consuming fiber-rich foods like vegetables and fruits would be beneficial. Practicing gentle yoga or stretching exercises could enhance urinary flow by supporting pelvic health overall.

While herbs may be contraindicated or interact with your medications, always check with your doctor before introducing any new supplement. Always prioritize established medical advice from your cardiologist and nephrologist, given your kidney condition especially. If symptoms worsen or new ones appear, follow up promptly with your healthcare professional for any potential adjustments in your treatment plan.
