What Is the Meaning of Oliguria, and What Causes It? - #15826
I recently came across the term oliguria, and I realized I don’t fully understand what it means. Now I’m wondering—what exactly is the meaning of oliguria, and what causes it? From what I understand, oliguria refers to decreased urine output, which can indicate kidney problems or dehydration. But how little urine is considered oliguria, and when should someone be concerned? I also read that oliguria can be caused by conditions like kidney disease, urinary tract obstructions, or severe infections. What tests are used to diagnose the underlying cause, and can it be treated with lifestyle changes? Since I prefer natural remedies, I looked into Ayurveda’s perspective on kidney health and urine production. Are there Ayurvedic herbs, dietary changes, or hydration tips that can help manage oliguria naturally? I found that Gokshura, Punarnava, and barley water are often recommended—do these actually help in improving urine flow? For those who have experienced oliguria, what was the cause in your case? Did increasing fluids, medications, or Ayurvedic treatments help restore normal urination? I’d love to hear real experiences on managing oliguria naturally.
