What is urogynecology, and how can Ayurveda help treat pelvic health issues naturally? - #16874
I’ve been experiencing some pelvic discomfort and bladder issues for a few months now, and my gynecologist suggested I see a specialist in urogynecology. I had never heard of it before, so I started doing some research. From what I understand, urogynecology is a medical field that focuses on the pelvic floor, urinary tract, and reproductive organs. I’ve been having more frequent trips to the bathroom, sometimes feeling like I can’t fully empty my bladder, and I’m also dealing with mild pelvic pain. The idea of seeing a urogynecology specialist makes me nervous. I don’t want to go through invasive tests or treatments unless absolutely necessary. I want to know if there are any natural ways to manage these symptoms first. I’ve heard that Ayurveda offers solutions for pelvic health, so I’m curious if there are any herbs or practices that can help improve bladder function and relieve pelvic pain without resorting to medication. In Ayurveda, is there a connection between pelvic health and digestion? I’ve noticed that my digestion isn’t great, with frequent bloating and irregular bowel movements. Could my digestive issues be linked to my pelvic problems? I’ve heard that Ayurveda views the body as a whole, so fixing one area may improve others. I came across Ayurvedic herbs like gokshura and ashoka, which are said to support female reproductive and urinary health. Could these herbs help with my bladder and pelvic symptoms? Should I take them as supplements, or would herbal teas be more effective? If anyone has dealt with pelvic issues or bladder problems and found relief through Ayurveda or seen a urogynecology specialist, I’d love to hear about your experience. Did Ayurveda help improve your pelvic health, or did you end up needing medical intervention? Any advice or suggestions would be greatly appreciated!
