Dr RC BAMS MS

Hello Thank​‍​‌‍​‍‌​‍​‌‍​‍‌ you for sharing. Bladder leakage (especially when you feel the urge, or when coughing or laughing) is a common problem, but do not worry we are here to assist you out 😊

✅ AYURVEDIC PLAN OF TREATMENT

1. Mahanarayana Oil( EXTERNAL) you can do gentle abhyanga (massage) on the lower abdomen and pelvic area with Mahanarayana Taila.

2. Kapikacchu churna 1 tsp with warm water once daily It is a Vata-pacifying and toning agent for the nerves and muscles, including those around the urinary tract.

3. Punarnavadi kashayam 15ml -0-15ml with 45 ml water after food Has diuretic + rejuvenating properties. It helps to reduce swelling and improves the body’s fluid balance.

4. Gokshuradi Guggulu 1-0-1 after food Helpful in urinary problems, the urinary tract getting stronger, and removal of stagnation.

✅LIFESTYLE CHANGES AND EXERCISE

Most of these are very important for a long-term solution:

Pelvic Floor Exercises (Kegel) Do Kegel exercises: tighten pelvic muscles (as if stopping urine mid-flow), hold for 5–10 seconds, then let go. Do this 10–15 times, 3 sets per day. After weeks, this will strengthen the muscles that urinate.

Avoid Bladder Irritants

Do not take too much caffeine, alcohol, and very spicy foods — as they can irritate the bladder.

Put a limit on fluid intake in the evening (to reduce nighttime urgency), and do not take too much water during the day.

Timed Voiding / Double Voiding

If you try going to the toilet on a schedule (e.g., every 2–3 hours), even if you don’t feel a strong urge.

When you go, urinate; then wait for a moment and try again (“double void”) to empty the bladder completely.

Weight Management If you are overweight, then losing even a small amount of weight will make the pressure on the bladder less.

Gentle Physical Activity Walking daily Yoga poses: Malasana (squat), Vajrasana, Baddha Konasana can strengthen the pelvic area Do not heavy lifting which aggravates abdominal pressure

✅DIET MODIFICATION

Eat more of those foods which nourish and tone the body: sesame seeds, almonds (soaked), ghee

Take Triphala regularly (½–1 tsp at bedtime) to keep your digestive system healthy and Vata balanced

Drink Jeera–Coriander water or mild Punarnava decoction to keep the body fluids in balance

With regular medicine + exercises, a large number of people report a drastic change within 2–3 months (less leakage, more control).

Wishing you a good health😊

We shall first diagnose the cause why is this happening? Any reports or something may be the doctor you have consulted has told you?

These are recommended by medical experts for bladder control.

✔ Kegel Exercises

Tighten the pelvic floor muscle (like holding urine)

Hold 5 seconds → release 5 seconds

Do 10–15 times × 3 sets/day Within 4–8 weeks, most women see improvement.

✔ “The Knack” Technique

When you are about to cough, laugh, or sneeze, → tighten pelvic muscles immediately. This prevents leakage.

✔ Bladder Training

Try to delay urination by 5–10 minutes when urge comes. Gradually increase to 20–30 minutes.

⭐ 3. Lifestyle Changes

These simple habits reduce leakage:

Reduce tea/coffee, alcohol, and fizzy drinks

Avoid citrus juices if they irritate your bladder

Drink enough water but not too much

Maintain healthy weight

Prevent constipation (add fibre, fruits, vegetables)

HELLO,

You are experiencing -Urgency= sudden strong urge to urinate -Inability to hold urine -Leakage when coughing, laughing, sneezing -These symptoms for 3-6 months This combination usually means two problems together

1) WEAK PELVIC FLOOR MUSCLES (stress incontinence) These are muscles at the bottom of your pelvis that support the bladder After age 50 , due to hormonal changes and natural aging, these muscles lose strength, so urine leaks with pressure (cough, laugh, sneeze , lifting)

2) OVERACTIVE/IRRITABLE BLADDER (urge incontinence) Here, the bladder becomes too sensitive and tries to empty even before it is full This causes -frequent urination -sudden urgency -difficulty holding urine

AYURVEDIC VIEW This condition is mainly due to -APANA VATA IMBALANCE Apana vata controls uriation, elimination, pelvic muscles, and reproductive organs When it becomes weak or disturbed, the bladder muscles lose tone

Other contributing factors -vata increase due to age -hormonal decline after menopause -stress/anxiety -weak tissues (dhatu kshaya) -sluggish digestion affecting urinary channels

TREATMENT GOALS -strengthen pelvic floor muscles -calm and stabilize bladder activity -rebalance apana vata -nourish the urinary tissues -reduce irritation or inflammation -improve overall vitality and energy

INTERNAL MEDICINES

1) CHANDRAPRABHA VATI= 1 tab twice daily after meals for 8 weeks =balances vata and pitta, calms bladder irritation, improves bladder control and reduces urgency, acts as a urinary tonic

2) GOKSHURADI GUGGULU= 1 tab twice daily after meals for 10 weeks =strengthens urianry tract muscles, reduces inflammation, improves bladder tone, helps in both urgency and leakage

3) ASHWAGANDHA + SHATAVARI CHURNA= 1 tsp at bedtime with warm milk for 3 months =strengthens muscles and nerves, nourishes tissues weakened by age, reduces vata aggravation, nourish pelvic tissues, reduces bladder irritation

4) VARUNADI KASHAYA= 20 ml + warm water twice daily before meals =reduces bladder hypersensitivity, clears urinary channels

5) PUNARNAVA MANDUR= 1 tab twice daily after meals =reduces water retention, helps urinary difficulties

EXTERNAL TREATMENT

1) WARM OIL MASSAGE= MAHANARAYAN TAILA -Apply daily on lower abdomen, hips, thighs, and lower back =balances vata, strengthens pelvic area, relaxes bladder muscles

2) MILD STEAM after. oil massage =enhances absorption of oil, softens tight muscles, improves circulation around bladder

YOGA FOR BLADDER STRENGTHENING do gently daily,

1) KEGEL EXERCISES (most important) -tightens pelvic muscles (as if stopping urine) -hold 5 seconds-> relax 5 seconds -15 reps* 3 times/day so total =45 cycle /day

2) YOGA ASANAS -setu bandhasana= strengthens pelvic floor -vajrasana= improves digestion and apana vata -malasana= pelvic opening and strengthening -supta baddha konasana= relaxes pelvic muscles -tadasana= core and back strengthening

PRANAYAM -Aulom vilom= balances vata -bhramari= calms bladder urge -deep abdominal breathing= improves pelvic control 10 min daily

DIET -warm, fresh, home cooked meals -ghee 1/2 tsp daily- nourishes tissues -milk warm with turmeric or ashwagandha shatavari -moong dal ,rice -cooked vegetables= pumpkin, ash gourd, bottle gourd, -bananas, pears, papaya -barley water -almonds soaked overnight

AVOID -spicy, fried foods increase irritation -very sour foods- tomatoes, pickles, vinegar -coffee, tea, increase urgency -alcohol -soda, fizzy drinks -cold water or ice drinks - too much salt - smoking weakens bladder muscles

LIFESTYLE CHANGES -go to urinate regular, don’t hold for long -avoid lifting heavy weights -maintain healthy body weight -wear cotton underwear -avoid constipation it worsens leakage -keep pelvic area warm -reduce stress- stress worsens urgency -avoid driving large amounts of water at once, sip slowly throughout the day

HOME REMEDIES -cumin,coriander, fennel tea= drink warm twice daily = reduces bladder irritation + balances vata

-Banana + ghee= 1 ripe banana + 1 tsp ghee = strengthens bladder muscles, improves apana vata

-Ash gourd juice= 1/2 cup in morning =calms bladder and cleans urinary system

-Warm water with honey = strengthens tissues and improves metabolism

You are not alone; this is very common after age 50 due to hormonal changes and natural muscle weakening With Ayurvedic mediicnes, lifestyle correction, pelvic exercises, and calming vata this condition can improve significantly

Ayurvedic treatment works naturally and steadily, focusing not only on symptoms but also on strengthening the root (apana vata + pelvic floor muscles)

With regular practice and consistency, most women regain normal bladder control and confidence

DO FOLLOW

HOPE THIS MIGHT BE HELPFUL

THANK YOU

Hi this is Dr soukhya… See as age increase the muscle tonicity will reduce…no need to worry… Do you have any reports regarding this issue or scan etc… Are you taking any medicine presently… kindly let me properly…before treatment…

Kindly do some exercise which increases your bladder tone …or strengths the bladder muscle…

Along with medication do exercises daily like Kegel exercises Pelvic floor exercises Malasana Start with Chandraprbha vati 1-0-1 after food with water Gokshura churan 1/2tsp + kapikachchu churan 1/2 tsp. Once with water after breakfast. Do pranamyam lom -vilom kapalbhatti bhastrika daily for 5-10mins twice.

Its better to opt for online consultation so that you can be guided even more clearly

Firstly, it’s crucial to realize that weak bladder control is often linked with Vata dosha imbalance, particularly affecting the Apana Vata, which governs the downward energy flow. Addressing the issue fundamentally, rather than just symptomatically, can help restore balance. Consider incorporating a few Ayurvedic strategies to strengthen your bladder function.

Paying close attention to your diet is vital. Warm, cooked meals that are easy to digest are beneficial in pacifying Vata. Foods like cooked carrots, beets, and sweet potatoes, along with spices such as ginger, cumin, and fennel, could be particularly helpful. Avoid cold drinks, raw foods, caffeine, and excessively salty or spicy items, as these can exacerbate Vata imbalance and irritate bladder function.

Achieving regular bowel movements is essential because constipation can contribute to a weak bladder. Triphala, an Ayurvedic formulation consisting of three fruits (Haritaki, Bibhitaki, and Amalaki), may support this process. Taking a teaspoon before bed with warm water can aid digestion and ensure regular elimination.

Incorporate particular yoga asanas and pelvic floor exercises, such as Mula Bandha (root lock), which can help strengthen the pelvic muscles, thus reducing incidents of leakage. Practicing these exercises daily can gradually aid in bladder control.

Consider using Ayurvedic formulations such as Shatavari or Gokshura, known for supporting the urinary system. However, always consult with a local Ayurvedic practitioner or healthcare provider before starting any herbal supplements, especially if you are on other medication.

Lastly, ensure you drink adequate water throughout the day. Surprisingly, restricting fluid intake can irritate the bladder further. Rather aim for moderate intake, and be mindful not to consume large quantities of fluid before bedtime.

If these suggestions don’t provide relief or your symptoms worsen, it might be necessary to seek professional medical assessment to rule out other underlying conditions.

Start on Chandraprabha vati Gokshuradi guggulu Twice daily after food with warm water Ashwagandha churna 1/2 tsp with warm milk at night

Do kegle exercises Once get us whole abdomen and urine routine to know the exact cause…
