Considering your age and the issues with frequent urination and incontinence, we can look at Ayurveda’s perspective which connects these symptoms primarily with ‘Vata’ dosha imbalance. As you have a history of squamous cell carcinoma, it’s essential to promote balance without interfering with your past treatments.
First, dietary choices matter. Incorporate warm, easily digestible foods with slightly unctuous characteristics to help pacify Vata. Include ghee in meals; a small spoon daily can support internal lubrication, crucial for Vata balance. Opt for cooked veggies like carrots and beets, avoiding dry and raw food items that exacerbate Vata. Drinking warm seasoned milk with turmeric at bedtime, in moderation, might also be beneficial.
In terms of lifestyle, emphasize grounding practices that calm Vata. Abhyanga, or oil massage, with sesame oil can be done daily before a warm shower. It’s simple yet effective, aiding in reducing dryness and rigidity associated with Vata imbalances.
Regarding herbal remedies, Gokshura (Tribulus terrestris) can be valuable for supporting urinary tract health and soothing imbalances in this system. Consult a knowledgeable Ayurvedic practitioner to determine the appropriate dosage and form suitable you considering the current state of health and past medical treatments.
Further adding Triphala at night might help with cleansing any residual urinary toxins. It’s also necessary to drink adequate water throughout out day, intoxicate the body, but avoid drinking excessively during evening hours to reduce nighttime urination.
Regular practice of Yoga and Pranayama that focus on calming and grounding, such as Shavasana and Nadi Shodhana, helps foster overall balance and relaxation. Avoid cold and damp settings, which could disturb Vata.
If the condition persists or worsens it may be worth investigating under a professional guidance with an Ayurvedic doctor who can monitor progress and adjust the personalized treatment accordingly. Also, remember immediate medical intervention should be sought if red flags arise.
