Here is a breakdown of potential Ayurvedic approaches and general advice based on the symptoms:
1. Focus on Bowel Movement (Constipation - Vata Imbalance) Smooth bowel movement is often the first step to relieving pressure and balancing Apana Vata, which can also help with the urinary issue.
Triphala: This is one of the most famous and gentle Ayurvedic laxatives, made of three fruits (Amalaki, Bibhitaki, Haritaki). It is often recommended as a daily tonic for the elderly as it is non-habit forming when taken in the correct dosage.
Recommendation: 1/2 to 1 teaspoon of Triphala powder mixed with a glass of warm water, taken about an hour before bedtime. This helps gently clean the colon.
Ghee with Warm Milk (Before Bed): A classic remedy, often for Vata-type constipation (dry, hard stools).
Recommendation: 1 teaspoon of pure cow’s Ghee added to a cup of warm (boiled) milk, taken about an hour after dinner and before bed. Ghee lubricates the intestines and helps pacify Vata. (Note: Consult the Vaidya on milk/dairy if it conflicts with his current digestive state or Kapha imbalance).
Haritaki: One of the components of Triphala, but sometimes used alone for Vata-dominant constipation.
2. Focus on Urination and Diabetes The feeling of incomplete or unsmooth urination (called Mutrakrichra in Ayurveda) in a diabetic person needs care.
1) tab gokshuradi gugglu-1 tab 3 times after food
2) chandra prabha vati -1 tab 2 times after food
Dietary Adjustments for Diabetes: Continue with a strict diabetic diet as advised by his doctor. Ayurveda stresses whole grains, millets, fresh vegetables (especially bitter and astringent ones like Bitter Gourd/Karela), and avoiding excessive sweets, sour, and heavy, oily foods.
3. Important Lifestyle & Hydration Adjustments Warm Water: Encourage him to drink plenty of warm water throughout the day. Dehydration contributes to both Vata aggravation and constipation.
Avoid Holding Urges: Encourage him not to suppress the natural urges to urinate or pass stool.
Light Activity: Gentle walking or light yoga (as medically advised) can help stimulate Apana Vata and aid in both digestion and elimination.
Warm Abhyanga (Massage): A gentle massage with warm sesame oil on the lower abdomen (in a clockwise direction for the colon, and a downward direction for the bladder area) can help pacify Vata and promote downward movement.
Continue Allopathic Medicine: Do not stop or change the dosage of his prescribed Glizid-MV or Neeri medicine without consulting his allopathic doctor. Ayurveda is often used to complement modern medicine in conditions like long-standing diabetes.
Monitor Blood Sugar: Any change in diet or introduction of new herbs should be accompanied by more frequent monitoring of his blood sugar level

Hello Sumedh Thank you for sharing the detailed history of your father. Since he is 70 years old, has been living with type 2 diabetes for 35 years, and is now facing urinary difficulty (urge but not passing smoothly) along with constipation, this definitely needs careful attention.but dont worry we are here to help you out😊
✅ WHAT SHOULD BE DONE IMMEDIATELY
✅INCESTIGATION(to find exact cause):
Ultrasound abdomen & pelvis ➡️ check for prostate enlargement, post-void residual urine, bladder wall, kidneys. Urine routine & culture ➡️ rule out infection. Kidney function test ➡️to ensure kidneys are safe. PSA test (if needed) ➡️ to assess prostate health.
These tests will clarify whether it is mainly prostate enlargement, diabetic bladder weakness, or a combination.
✅TIPS
Water Intake- Drink 1.5–2 L/day unless doctor has restricted due to heart/kidney reasons.
Avoid bladder irritants: Less tea, coffee, alcohol, and very spicy food.
Timed voiding: Encourage him to go to the toilet every 2–3 hours, even if urge is not strong.
Double voiding technique- After urinating, wait a few seconds and try again to help complete emptying.
Constipation relief:
Warm water in the morning. 1 tsp ghee in warm milk or water at night. Fruits like papaya, pear, figs, soaked raisins, and vegetables with fibre. Light evening walk daily.
✅AYURVEDIC MEDICATION
➡️For urinary issues (prostate + bladder):
1 Varunadi Kashaya 15ml-0-15ml +45 ml water after food – supports healthy prostate and urinary flow.
2 Chandraprabha Vati 2-0-2 after food – balances Vata, reduces urinary obstruction, relieves burning or frequency.
➡️For constipation:
Triphala churna (1 tsp with warm water at bedtime) – regulates bowel movements, also helps in detoxification.
Isabgol husk (1–2 tsp with warm water) – softens stool, safe in diabetes.
✅MONITORING DIABETES
Since he is on Glizid-MV, it is important to keep sugars in control because high sugar worsens constipation, causes bladder infections, and makes urine symptoms worse. Keep regular monitoring of fasting and post-meal sugars.
Your father’s problem is most likely due to a combination of age-related prostate enlargement and long-standing diabetic effects on the bladder, with constipation making it worse.
👉 With proper evaluation (especially ultrasound and kidney tests), simple lifestyle adjustments (fluid, fibre, walks), and Ayurvedic support (Varunadi Kwath, Chandraprabha Vati, Triphala), his urine flow and bowel movements can be improved significantly.
WIshing you a good health😊

Hi Sumedh, As per the details you have mentioned, it looks like your father might be suffering from Prostatic enlargement. When prostate gland get enlarged it caused urinary bladder neck constriction. Therefore patient has difficulty in passing urine satisfactorily. I need you to get two investigations done
1. Ultrasound KUB + Post Void Urine Volume 2. Urowflowmetry ( To check rate of flow of urine )
These tests will help to guide further the line of treatment.
Meanwhile Start - 1. Chandraprabha Vati, 2-0-2 before food 2. Gokshuradi Guggulu 2-0-2 after food 3. Mamejava Ghanvati 2-0-2 before food (for regulating sugar level alongwith Glizid)
I want you to start one Panchakarma procedure for your father. Uttarbasti, which is administration of medicated oil through penile urethra. Uttarbasti with Bala-Ashwagandhadi Tail , 50ml twice in a week for 2 months.

Given your father’s condition with type 2 diabetes and the difficulties he’s experiencing with urination and bowel movements, it’s essential to consider both his diabetic management and underlying Ayurvedic principles. In Ayurveda, these issues may be linked to an imbalance in Vata dosha, which governs movement in the body, including urine and bowel movements. Here’s a tailored approach:
For the urinary issues, it’s important to maintain proper hydration. Encourage him to drink lukewarm water throughout the day. This not only keeps the body hydrated but also supports overall renal function. Including Barley water could be beneficial – prepare barley water by boiling 1 tablespoon of barley in about 4 cups of water, strain, and drink it through the day.
Regarding the hard motion, focusing on the digestive system is crucial. Eating a diet rich in fiber can help, which mean including whole grains, fresh vegetables, and fruits, especially those rich in water content such as cucumbers and melons. Warm, lightly spiced foods with ginger and cumin can enhance agni, the digestive fire, promoting easier elimination.
Incorporating Triphala at bedtime can aid in regularizing bowel movements. A recommended dose is about half-teaspoon mixed with warm water before sleep. This gentle laxative helps cleanse the colon and supports digestion without harsh effects.
Lifestyle also matters: encourage regular physical activity, adjusted to his capacity, possibly gentle walks which help stimulate peristalsis and improve both circulatory and urinary health. Meanwhile, stress management techniques like yoga or pranayama are very useful for balancing Vata.
On the supplementation side, incorporating Ashwagandha can be supportive for Vata balance and overall energy, but consult his healthcare provider for appropriate doses, considering current medications interactions, which is crucial.
Ensure continuous monitoring of his glucose levels to avoid any complications with his diabetic management. If symptoms persist or worsen, seeking medical consultation is advised to prevent any serious complications.
HELLO SUMEDH,
Your father has had type 2 diabetes for many years. Over time, high sugar levels affect not only the blood but also the nerves, kidneys and bladder
WHAT’S HAPPENING INSIDE -the nerves that control the bladder and intestines may become weak due to long term high sugar (this is called diabetic neuropathy) -The muscle of the bladder lose their strength-> the person feels urine is coming but cannot pass it fully -the intestine movement slows down-> hard stools, incomplete evacuation , and discomfort. -At his age, prostate enlargement (a normal male aging process ) can also block urine flow
So, it’s a combination of -diabetes effect on nerves -vata imbalance -dryness, obstruction -possible prostate or kidney weakness
Ayurveda describes such a state under -Prameha= diabetes and its complications -mutrakrichhra/mutraghata-> difficulty or obstruction in urination -vibandha= constipation or dryness of intestiness
DOSHA INVOLVEMENT -Vata dosha = causes dryness, obstruction, and poor nerve function -Kapha dosha= causes sluggish metabolism and stickiness -pita dosha= may cause burning or irritation if infection is present
So, the main goal is to nourish and balance vata, clear obstruction, support kidneys, and nerves and maintain sugar control
TREATMENT GOALS -improve bladder function- make urination smooth and complete -elieve constipation= ensure easy, regular bowel movement -support kidney and nerve health -balance diabetes naturally -prevent further complications by improving overall digestion and metabolism

THANK YOU
DR. MAITRI ACHARYA
Thank you so much Dr. Ji you explained very well with prescription detailing
Given the situation, the symptoms your papa is experiencing align with certain imbalances that we can address through a Siddha-Ayurvedic approach. In Ayurveda, these concerns could be related to vata dosha imbalance, especially at his age, as vata tends to increase with aging, potentially affecting the excretory functions. The urinary discomfort and constipation need to be attentively managed, especially within the context of diabetes.
Firstly, encouraging hydration is essential. Warm water or warmed herbal teas, such as ginger tea, can aid in promoting smoother urine flow. They help in balancing Vata and igniting Agni, which is the digestive fire, assisting both digestion and urination. Constipation can often be addressed by adding healthy fats like a teaspoon of ghee to morning meals, or warm milk at night, which soothes vata and aids bowel movements.
In terms of dietary adjustments, increasing fiber from cooked vegetables like gourds, pumpkins, and carrots could be beneficial for smoother bowel movements. Also, consider including slightly warmed psyllium husk (Isabgol) before bedtime to help stimulate bowel activity gently. Avoid raw, hard, and very dry foods which could exacerbate the vata imbalance.
Specifically for urinary tract health, a decoction of coriander seeds and an infusion of fennel seeds, taken daily, might gently support the urinary system. Two teaspoons of coriander seeds boiled in water, let it cool, and consume twice a day.
However, given his diabetic condition and age, ensure that any new regimen is commenced after consulting his primary healthcare provider to coordinate with his existing medications. If these issues persist or worsen, it would be prudent to seek timely medical evaluation to rule out any complications related to his diabetic history.
Thank you sir
