Frequent urination during day and night. At times urine is dripping and uncontrollable. - #24956

Murugesan Reddiar

I am 82 years old. I have high blood pressure and leg swelling due to lymphedema. I am taking Metosartan 25, Nicardia 10 for blood pressure and Voltam plus for frequent urination. Pressure is under control, but frequent urination at night disturbs my sleep. I tried Ayurveda medicines also and they did no help much.

Age: 82
Chronic illnesses: None
I feel tired. when i walk i feel little imbalance. it may be due ti vertico.

Dr. Manjula
I am a dedicated Ayurveda practitioner with a deep-rooted passion for restoring health through traditional Ayurvedic principles. My clinical approach revolves around understanding the unique constitution (Prakruti) and current imbalance (Vikruti) of each individual. I conduct comprehensive consultations that include Prakruti-Vikruti Pareeksha, tongue examination, and other Ayurvedic diagnostic tools to identify the underlying causes of disease, rather than just addressing symptoms. My primary focus is on balancing the doshas—Vata, Pitta, and Kapha—through individualized treatment plans that include herbal medicines, therapeutic diets, and lifestyle modifications. I believe that healing begins with alignment, and I work closely with my patients to bring the body, mind, and spirit into harmony using personalized, constitution-based interventions. Whether managing chronic conditions or guiding preventive health, I aim to empower patients through Ayurvedic wisdom, offering not just relief but a sustainable path to well-being. My practice is rooted in authenticity, guided by classical Ayurvedic texts and a strong commitment to ethical, patient-centered care. I take pride in helping people achieve long-term health outcomes by integrating ancient knowledge with a modern, practical approach. Through continuous learning and close attention to every detail in diagnosis and treatment, I strive to deliver meaningful, natural, and effective results for all my patients.

Hello, 1. What is the size of prostate gland(as you are already on voltam plus)? 2. Since how long you are on metosartan25 and nicardia10? The answer to the above will help you answer the question more appropriately. Till then reducing the water/liquid intake after 4PM(or) just sipping few sips will help a bit to reduce the urine frequency at nights. Take care. Kind regards.

Suggestions to Reduce Night Urination & Improve Sleep 1. Daytime Leg Elevation + Gentle Movement Lie down with legs raised above heart level for 1–2 hours in the late afternoon. This helps drain leg fluid before bedtime and reduces nighttime urine production. Use gentle compression stockings if advised by your doctor. 2. Limit Evening Fluid Intake Avoid drinking water 2–3 hours before bed. Restrict caffeine, tea, and excess soup at night. 4. Natural Supplements- Some mild natural aids may help: Ashwagandha (for sleep): 1 capsule at night can help calm the nervous system. Varunadi Kwath or Chandraprabha Vati Useful if BPH is contributing. Shilajit with Gokshura: Sometimes used in age-related urinary discomfort, but needs supervision. Follow Sleep Hygiene for Seniors Avoid screens and bright lights before bed. Maintain a routine sleep schedule. Avoid long daytime naps.

Namaste Murugesan ji 🙏, Thank you for sharing your health concerns. At 82 years of age, you are managing your blood pressure well(as you mentioned blood pressure under control) , which is a great achievement. The frequent night urination (nocturia) and leg swelling due to lymphedema are understandably affecting your sleep and comfort. Certain investigation has to be done like 1 Usg (abdo + pelvis ) to rule out benign prostate hypertrophy, which is common in old age and causes frequent urination. ** Ayurvedic Perseptive**: In Ayurveda, frequent urination at night (especially in elderly) can be due to: 1 Apana Vata imbalance (the dosha governing urination and elimination) 2 Weakness of bladder muscles and age-related decline in "Ojas" 3 Kapha obstruction and fluid retention in legs (lymphedema-related) 🌿 Ayurvedic Suggestions: 1️⃣ Dietary Modifications (very gentle and elder-safe) ✅ Take light, early dinner – before 7:30 PM ✅ Reduce fluid intake after 7 PM (especially tea/milk) ✅ Prefer warm, easy-to-digest food like moong dal, rice, pumpkin, bottle gourd ❌ Avoid salty, sour, and heavy dinner (it increases fluid retention) 2️⃣ Gentle Home Remedies Before bedtime: • Take ¼ tsp nutmeg (jaiphal) powder with warm milk (once daily) → It helps calm Apana Vata and reduce nighttime urination 3️⃣ Ayurvedic Medicines You Can Discuss With Your Doctor: 1 Chandraprabha vati 2-0-2 after food (This will work on your apana vayu) 2 vasthaymanthaka ghrita 1 tsp at 6pm followed by warm water (this will strengthen the bladder) Lifestyle Tips: • Elevate legs slightly while lying down (to reduce swelling) • Slow ankle rotations 2–3 times daily to improve circulation • Avoid daytime naps if sleep at night is disturbed Important Note: Since you're already taking Metosartan, Nicardia, and Voltam Plus, do not stop or change any allopathic medicines on your own. Ayurveda works best as supportive care to improve quality of life in the elderly. You are already doing very well managing your blood pressure. The focus now should be on: ✅Improving sleep ✅Reducing leg swelling ✅Gentle bladder support — not harsh medications With this Ayurvedic plan, you may experience improvement in sleep and urination without side effects. Wishing you peaceful nights and good health Warm regards, Dr. Snehal Vidhate
