Prostate Meaning - #18647
A few months ago, my father, who is 62 years old, started complaining about frequent urination, especially at night. At first, we thought it was just a sign of aging, but then he mentioned that sometimes he feels like he cannot empty his bladder completely. He also experiences a weak urine stream and, on some days, mild discomfort in the lower abdomen. When we visited a doctor, they mentioned something about the prostate and asked him to undergo a few tests. Until that day, I never really paid attention to what the prostate does or why it becomes a problem in older men. I started reading about it and learned that an enlarged prostate is common as men age and can lead to urinary problems. Some articles even talked about prostate infections and the risk of prostate cancer, which honestly scared me. Now, I am curious to know more from an Ayurvedic perspective. What exactly is the prostate according to Ayurveda, and how does it affect overall health? Are there Ayurvedic remedies to maintain a healthy prostate and prevent enlargement or other issues? I have read that certain herbs like Gokshura and Shatavari can help with urinary health—do these also benefit the prostate? Also, since my father is already experiencing some discomfort, are there specific Ayurvedic treatments, dietary recommendations, or lifestyle changes that can help him manage his symptoms naturally? Would warm oil massages or yoga poses be beneficial for prostate health? I want to ensure that my father stays healthy and avoids complications related to the prostate. If there are any preventive measures we can take, I would love to know about them.
