What Is Neurogenic Bladder and How Can Ayurveda Help in Improving Bladder Control Naturally? - #16104
For the past few months, I have been experiencing frequent urination and sometimes difficulty emptying my bladder completely. After consulting a doctor, I learned that these might be signs of a neurogenic bladder, a condition that affects bladder function due to nerve damage. Now, I am looking for natural ways to manage it. From what I understand, a neurogenic bladder occurs when nerve signals between the bladder and brain are disrupted, leading to urinary retention or incontinence. But what I do not fully understand is what causes this condition. Can it develop due to spinal injuries, diabetes, or chronic nerve damage? Also, does emotional stress or anxiety make neurogenic bladder symptoms worse? I have read that Ayurveda focuses on balancing the nervous system (Vata dosha) and strengthening the bladder muscles. Are there specific Ayurvedic herbs, such as Gokshura, Ashwagandha, or Punarnava, that help in improving bladder control? Also, does Ayurveda recommend any specific dietary or lifestyle changes to reduce urinary urgency or retention? Another thing I am wondering about is whether yoga or breathing exercises can help manage neurogenic bladder. Does Ayurveda suggest any particular postures or relaxation techniques to improve bladder nerve function? If anyone has successfully improved neurogenic bladder symptoms using Ayurvedic remedies, I would love to hear what worked. I am looking for a long-term, natural approach to managing my bladder health.
