Doctors' responses
Considering the symptoms you’ve described, it appears there may be an imbalance in your Vata dosha, potentially affecting your urinary functions. In Ayurveda, prostate concerns and associated urinary difficulties can sometimes be related to Vata aggravation, which influences Apana Vayu—the subdosha of Vata responsible for elimination.
First off, dietary adjustments can be essential. Incorporate easily digestible, warm foods like steamed vegetables, whole grains (like rice and oats), and soupy lentils. Avoid spicy, cold or excessively oily foods that might further aggravate Vata. Also, caffeine and alcohol can irritate the bladder, so reduce or eliminate these from your routine.
Staying hydrated is important, but focus on adequate hydration earlier in the day to minimize nighttime urination. Warm water or herbal teas such as coriander seed tea, which can be soothing for the urinary tract, might be beneficial. To make the tea, boil one teaspoon of coriander seeds in a cup of water for 10 minutes, then strain and drink once it’s cooled to a comfortably warm temperature.
Practicing specific yogic postures that promote relaxation and urinary health can be helpful. Baddha Konasana (Bound Angle Pose) and Supta Baddha Konasana (Reclining Bound Angle Pose) can support the pelvic area, improving urinary function. Practicing these poses daily, alongside pranayama (breathing exercises) like Nadi Shodhana (Alternate Nostril Breathing), can help calm the nervous system.
Herbal preparations like Gokshura (Tribulus terrestris) are traditionally used in Ayurveda for urinary support and can be considered under the guidance of a qualified practitioner. It’s crucial to have an experienced professional guide the choice and dosage as individual requirements vary.
Lastly, if you experience acute or severe symptoms, this warrants immediate medical attention. Symptoms such as pain, blood in urine, or significant difficulty urinating should prompt you to consult a healthcare provider promptly. Ayurveda and modern medicine can complement each other in many cases, ensuring you receive the comprehensive care needed.
