Namaste

At the age of 68, slow or strained urine flow of indicates prostate gland enlargement where the gland passes on the urinary tract… Can also cause urgency or nighttime urination

Diabetes conversion, this symptoms due to nerve weakness and poor bladder emptying

You can start on Chandraprabha vati- Gokahuradi guggulu-each one tablet twice daily after food with warm water

NAMASTE GUNA JI,

In ayurveda, prostate enlargement is related to an imbalance of vata dosha, especially Apana vata, which controls the lower part of body like urination, bowel movement, reproduction. As we age, vata increases leading to issues like -MUTRAKRUCHHRA- difficulty in urination -MUTRAGHAT- obstruction of urine flow

If diabetes is present called madhumeha in ayurveda, it can worsen urinary problems due to low immunity and nerve weakness(also a vata issue)

AYURVEDIC MEDICINES PLAN FOR YOU

1)CHANDRAPRABHA VATI- 2 tabs twice daily after meals(baidyanath brand)= improves urinary flow, reduces swelling

2)VARUNADI KASHAYA(baidyanath/dabur)- 20 ml with water twice daily before meals= supports prostate health and urine function

3)PROSTINA CAPSULE(himalaya/charak)- 1 cap twice daily after food= formulated for BPH and prostate support

4)GOKSHURADI GUGGULU- 2 tab twice daily after meals(baidyanth/dabur)= reduces urinary retention and inflammation

5)ASHWAGANDHA TABLETS(himalaya/organu india- 1 tab daily twice at bedtime and morning with milk= improves stamina and balance vata

these all can help reduce prostate symptoms and improve urine glow naturally without increasing blood glucose level

DIET PLAN FOR PROSTAE AND DIABETES

FOODS TO EAT -warm,cooked meals- khichdi,moong dal, cooked veggies -pumpkin seeds- daily -aloe vera juice- 15 ml daily -bootle gourd, ridge gourd, ash gourd -tomatoes cooked

FOODS TO AVOID’ -caffeine, tea, coffee, alcohol -spicy ,fried , sour food -curd especially at night - cold drinks, cold food -overeatig or late night meals

YOGA AND LIFESTYLE

FOR PROSTATE HEALTH AND URINE FLOW practice daily(empty stomach) 1)MOOLA BANDHA(penile contraction)-tones prostate 2)BADDHA KONASANA(butterfly pose)- improves pelvic circulation 3)MALASANA(garland pose)- helps bladder empty

PRANAYAM -ANULOM VILON- 5 MIN -BHRAMARI- 5 MIN

WALKING - 30 min daily, improves circulation

LIFESTYLE TIP -urinate when you feel the urge- don’t hold it -avoid long sitting- use cushion for pelvic comfort -empty bladder before sleep -control diabetes strictly

Always monitor blood sugar levels don’t stop allopathic medications immediately avoid stress and constipation- both worsen BPH

Prostate gland inflammation or enlargement can affect urine flow, commonly seen as an age-related issue called benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH). In Ayurveda, this condition relates to an imbalance in the doshas, especially Vata and Pitta. Addressing this, involves harmonizing these doshas.

First, let’s focus on your diet. Incorporate more fiber-rich foods like whole grains, beans, vegetables, and fruits — they aid digestion and prevent constipation, which can worsen symptoms. Avoid spicy, oily, and processed foods, as they can increase Pitta, potentially worsening inflammation. Herbal teas like ginger and chamomile are soothing.

Stress plays a role, too. Practicing gentle yoga and pranayama (breathing exercises) helps calm the mind and balance Vata. Asanas such as Baddha Konasana (Bound Angle Pose) and Supta Padangusthasana (Reclining Hand-to-Big-Toe Pose) improve circulation in pelvic area.

Triphala is a powerful traditional remedy. You can take one teaspoon in warm water before bed to support digestion and detoxification. Gokshura and Varuna are herbs known for their urinary tract benefits. Gokshura can be taken as a capsule or tea, and Varuna can be found in powdered form.

Hydration is vital, but do avoid excessive fluid intake at night to reduce nighttime urination.

While these remedies can help mild cases, make sure to consult healthcare professional for a complete evaluation and rule out other causes. If symptoms persist or worsen, it’s crucial to seek immediate medical attention to prevent complications. Regular monitoring by a physician ensures the best approach combines Ayurvedic and conventional wisdom. Remember, a consistent routine enhances effectiveness, and listen to your body’s feedback in this process.

HELLO GUNA,

It seems like you are dealing with benign prostatic hyperplasia(BPH), which is a non cancerous enlargement of the prostate gland. This is very common in older men and can cause urination-especially at night. and difficulty starting or stopping urination. you also mentioned diabetes, which can complicate urinary issues, so careful management is important.

-SOTHA HARANA= to reduce prostate gland size and relieve compression on the urethra -MUTRAVAHA SROTOSODHANA= to improve urine flow , reduce frequency, urgency, and incomplete emptying. -KLEDA SHOSHANA= especially important if there’s fluid retention or early kidney involvement -VATA-KAPHA SAMANA= BPH is primarily a vata-kaphaja disorder. vata causes obstruction, kapha cause growth -REJUVINATION= Strenghten the reproductive and urinary system, especially in older age -MADHUMEHA ANUKOOLA CHIKITSA= manage both diabetes and BPH

2)SHILAJIT RESIN- continue

3)CHYAWANPRASHA(SUGAR-FREE)- 1 tsp in morning= immunity and vitality booster
