The presence of 15-20 pus cells in urine, often points to an infection, probably a urinary tract infection (UTI). Burning sensation during urination is a strong hint too. While I’d advise you to also consult a doctor, Ayurveda can indeed provide relief and support the body’s natural healing. Let’s explore some remedies and lifestyle tweaks.
Chandraprabha Vati is a well-known Ayurvedic formulation that can be beneficial for urinary health. It’s used for its antimicrobial properties and can aid in reducing inflammation. You can take 1-2 tablets, twice daily, preferably under guidance of an Ayurvedic practitioner though, just to be safe.
Since diet plays a big role too, it’s worth reconsidering some habits. Coffee and soda can irritate the bladder and might exacerbate symptoms. Instead, try to focus on hydrating with water or herbal infusions like coriander seeds water. Just soak a teaspoon of seeds overnight and drink the strained water first thing in morning. Another good one is barley water, it’s soothing and supportive for the urinary system.
Include fruits like pomegranates and cranberries, known for their anti-microbial benefits. Avoid spicy, oily, and heavy foods which can strain your system. Also, having a rich diet in fruits and vegetables, can be healing.
Herbs such as gokshura and punarnava is often recommended in Ayurveda for their diuretic and anti-inflammatory properties. They help cleanse and strengthen the urinary tract, maybe look into that a bit more.
As for the timeline, it’s a bit like asking how long a piece of string is, depends on individual factors and TMI you know. If the infection is mild, relief might come within a week or two but for more persistent issues, it may take longer. Keep monitor the symptoms and pus cell counts through urinalyses to track progress.
Don’t ignore persisting or severe symptoms though. Not a replacement for medical care when necessary, these suggestions, are more complementary. Checking with professional healthcare after a couple of weeks or sooner if needed. Hope you feel better soon!
