HI,
it is mainly due to Vata Pradhanata in Jara Awastha i.e. due to Vata Dosha dominance in old age.
oral treatment- 1) Chandraprabha vati 2 tab bd with luke warm water after meal 2) Vishatintuk vati 2 tab bd after meal ------(is a preparation which pacifies kaphavata-originated diseases and it cures Vasthishaithilya thereby reducing the symptoms such as urinary urgency and increased frequency of urination) 3) ashwagandha churn 1 tsf bd before meal with luke warm water-------------(contributed to improving the tone of the bladder) 4) Smritisagar rasa 2 tab bd after meal
panchkarma therapy-
picha basti with sheerbala taila for 7 days from nearby panchkarma centre -------gives effective result for urinary incontinence ( it is just like anema)
Advice- Pelvic floor exercises (Kegel exercises) can help strengthen the muscles of the pelvic floor that support the bladder and close the sphincter. Bladder training can help patients learn to delay urination. Pelvic Floor Yogic Exercise is a very effective method for restoring urinary incontinence.
Yoga postures like Tadasana (mountain pose), Utkatasana (chair pose), Trikonasana (triangle pose), Malasana (squat pose), Viparita Karani Variation (legs up the wall pose), Salamba Set Bandhasana (supported bridge pose), Supta Baddha Konasana (reclined cobbler’s pose), and Savasana (corpse pose) are very useful in urinary incontinence in women.
follow up after 15 days.

HELLO JHILLY,
Urinary incontinence is when you cannot full control your bladder, leading to leakage of urine. In Ayurveda, this is often due to an imbalance of vata, especially Apana vata, which controls ladder ad pelvic functions
In older age , muscles and tissues that hold urine become weaker, sometimes worsened by -Diabetes can irritate bladder and nerves -Hypertension may affect kidney function
So, in your case, it is moderate incontinence, happening frequently without specific triggers. This means bladder muscles are weak and vata imbalance is significant. The goal is to strengthen bladder control, calm vata , protect kidney, and prevent progression of diabetes/hypertension complications
TREATMENT GOALS -correct vata imbalane= main cause of leakage -strengthen bladder and pelvic muscles= improve urine holding -protect kidneys = prevent chronic kiidney disease - improve overall urinary health= reduce irritation, frequency and infections -support general health

5) SHILAJIT CAPSULES= 250 g daily after breakfast for 2 months =rejuvenates kidney tissues, boosts energy
EXTERNAL THERAPIES
