How to treat a enlarged Prostrate - #26076

Your condition aligns with "Vataja Mutraghata" and "Ashtheela" as per Ayurvedic texts—conditions involving obstructed urine flow and an enlarged gland in the pelvic region. The root cause lies in the vitiation of Apana Vata, the sub-dosha responsible for pelvic function. When Apana Vata becomes disturbed due to age, stress, irregular habits, or excessive dryness, it leads to tissue stiffness, inflammation, and pressure in the urinary passage. This also explains: Nocturia (frequent night urination) – due to Vata pushing urine irregularly Lower back pain + tiredness – linked to Vata imbalance and pelvic nerve tension Elevated PSA – inflammatory markers rising due to congestion, even if no cancer is seen Turmeric and nitric oxide supplements are helpful but insufficient alone at this stage. You need Vata-pacifying, anti-inflammatory, and urinary clearing herbs with supportive therapies. ✅ 2. Ayurvedic Prescription (6–8 Weeks) Internal Medicines: Varunadi Kashayam – 15 ml + 45 ml warm water twice daily before food Chandraprabha Vati – 2 tablets twice daily after food Gokshuradi Guggulu – 2 tablets twice daily after food Punarnavadi Mandoor – 1 tablet twice daily (to relieve inflammation and back pain) Shilajit Vati (Plain) – 1 tablet morning with milk or warm water (for strength and prostate toning) These work by reducing inflammation, regulating urine flow, and softening the enlarged tissue. Shilajit and Guggulu are time-tested Rasayanas for age-related Vata conditions. 🧴 External Therapy (If available near you) Kati Basti with warm Sahacharadi taila or Mahanarayana taila – over the lower back and sacrum, 5–7 sessions Gentle abhyanga (oil massage) of lower abdomen and thighs + steam therapy Basti therapy (medicated oil enema with Balashwagandhadi taila or Narayana taila) – only under Ayurvedic doctor supervision 🍲 Diet & Lifestyle Tips: Drink warm cumin + coriander seed water throughout the day Avoid cold water, curd, fermented food, red meat, and processed food Take early dinners and avoid fluid intake after 8 PM Use ghee, ash gourd, pumpkin, and barley in the diet Gentle yoga stretches: Supta Baddha Konasana, Makarasana, and Apanasana Sleep before 10:30 PM to help Apana Vata reset naturally 🧪 Optional Investigations (If not done recently): PSA (Free and Total), Testosterone (Total and Free) Serum Creatinine, Urine Culture Vitamin D3, B12 Pelvic floor ultrasound (if frequent urgency continues) 🌼 Final Note: You're still in a very manageable stage. Ayurveda offers excellent long-term relief for prostate inflammation and enlargement by rejuvenating the pelvic tissues, pacifying Apana Vata, and improving urine flow naturally. If you start this approach now, you can prevent worsening, reduce PSA levels naturally, and improve sleep and energy. If you have any doubts, you can contact me. Take care, Regards, Dr. Karthika
