You can start on Gokshuradi guggulu 1-0-1 Chandraprabha vati 1-0-1 Continue triphala churna 1 tsp is enough and continue allopathic medicines
Madam, Thanks for your advice. However, I am not in favour of taking allopathic medicine unless there is no remedy in ayurveda. Would you mind giving your valued opinion in this regard .
Regards,
In your case it is completely possible to manage your present urinary symptoms through Ayurveda alone… Nothing in your reports, suggest that you must depend upon allopathy medicines right now … Your prostate size is only mildlly enlarged and Your kidney parameters are stable, there is no hydronephrosis and your symptoms are moderate… These are all situations where Ayurvedic treatment works very well when followed consistently… Alopathi medicines for prostate, mainly relax the muscles to improve urine flow, but the moment you stop them, the effect fades , Ayurveda works differently… It gradually strengthens the bladder neck, improves. The tone of the urinary pathway, reduces prostate congestion and support kidney function. This changes stay for the long-term and at your age, this gentle and sustained healing approach is often more suitable.
Your occasional urgency night time, urination, and incomplete emptying, feeling can be handled quite effectively through the above medicine,… continue for few months for stable improvement
Prostate enlargement with urinary symptoms can be a tough issue to face, but Ayurveda has some insights to offer. The enlargement and related symptoms, like urinary urge incontinence and nocturia, are often linked to imbalances in the Vata and Pitta doshas. For your condition, a holistic approach targeting both doshas and strengthening your urinary system could be beneficial.
First, consider lifestyle and dietary changes. Begin with a well-cooked, warm and easy-to-digest diet. Favor foods that balance Vata and Pitta, such as warm, cooked vegetables, grains like quinoa and barley, and non-citrus fruits. Avoid caffeine, spicy and fried foods, as these can aggravate your symptoms. Drink plenty of warm water throughout the day to support kidney function.
Herbs like Gokshura (Tribulus terrestris) and Varuna (Crataeva nurvala) can support urinary health, while Shilajit may help improve strength and stamina. You might try taking Gokshura or Varuna in churna (powder) form, about 1 teaspoon with warm water, twice daily. Consult with an Ayurvedic practitioner for a suitable Shilajit dose. Ayurvedic formulations like Chandraprabha Vati are often used for prostate health, typically 1 tablet twice a day after meals.
Regular mild exercise, such as walking or gentle yoga, can enhance circulation and balance Vata. Pay attention to calming practices like meditation to reduce stress, which can worsen your symptoms.
As for your constipation, you are already using Triphala, continue this in the evening with warm water, but gauge the dose according to your bowel comfort. Consider adding more fiber-rich foods if needed.
Since you had a hemi-colectomy and have medical history, ensure continuous follow-up with your healthcare providers. Ayurvedic treatments can be complementary, consider finding an Ayurvedic practitioner near you to monitor your progress and adjust the treatment as necessary. Remember, these treatments may take several months to show effects, combined with current medication, it’s essential you are aligned with your doctors’ guidance.
