Doctors' responses

Hello, Thank you for sharing these details. Frequent urination at night, especially 5–6 times, can be very disturbing and exhausting. At her age, this usually happens when blood sugar remains high, bladder muscles become weak, or there is Vata aggravation in the urinary system (Mutra Vaha Srotas).

The good thing is her creatinine is normal, which means kidneys are functioning well. But the urination at night, uncontrolled BP, and high sugar average indicate the body is under stress and needs proper regulation.

Please don’t worry — this condition is treatable and can be improved with proper Ayurvedic medicines + sugar control + bladder strengthening.

I’m here with you.

🔎 Recommended Investigations (If not done in last 3–6 months 1. HbA1c 2. Fasting & PP Blood Sugar 3. Urine Routine & Urine Culture (to rule out silent infection) 4. Lipid Profile 5. Renal USG (only if symptoms persist 1–2 months)

💊 Ayurvedic Internal Medicines Phase 1 – 15 days For bladder strengthening + sugar reduction + Vata calming 1. Chandraprabha Vati – 2 tablets twice daily after meals (excellent for frequent urination, bladder weakness) 2. Punarnava Mandur – 1 tablet twice daily (reduces inflammation, supports kidneys, reduces swelling) 3. Vasant Kusumakar Ras (non-swarna) – 1 tablet daily in morning (excellent for sugar control in elders) 4. Abana + BGR 34 – continue as you are taking 5. Ashwagandha Vati – 1 tablet at bedtime (calms Vata, improves sleep & night urination)

Phase 2 – 45 days For long-term control of BP + sugar + urinary frequency 1. Gokshuradi Guggulu – 2 tablets twice daily (urinary strengthening + kidney support) 2. Nisha Amalaki Churna – ½ tsp twice daily before meals (reduces sugar, improves bladder dryness) 3. Sariva Syrup (Anantmool) – 2 tsp twice daily (reduces heat & irritation in urinary tract) 4. Punarnavadi Kashayam – 10 ml with 20ml warm water twice daily before food (helps with swelling, BP, urinary regulation)

🌿 External & Supportive Therapies 1. Warm water sipping through the day 2. Castor oil – 3 drops in navel at night 3. Warm oil massage on back & lower abdomen (sesame oil) – helps bladder tone and Vata balance

🥗 Diet & Lifestyle Recommendations ❌ Avoid Tea/coffee after evening Sour foods at night (pickles, curd) Excess water after 7 PM Cold drinks or refrigerated water Fried, oily, sugar-heavy food Long afternoon sleeping

✅ Include Warm water Light dinner before 7:30 PM 1 tsp ghee in lunch (improves Vata & bladder tone) Vegetable soups (bottle gourd, pumpkin) Moong dal khichdi 2–3 times a week Steamed vegetables Small evening walk (very helpful)

🧘‍♀️ Simple Yoga & Breathing (Only if mobility allows) 1. Vajrasana – 5 minutes after dinner 2. Baddha Konasana – improves bladder control 3. Anulom Vilom – 5 minutes 4. Bhramari – 3–5 minutes (reduces BP)

🕉️ Follow-up & Expected Improvement * Night urination improves in 10–14 days * Blood sugar begins stabilising within 2–4 weeks * BP reduces gradually with routine & herbs * Kidney function remains protected * Overall energy improves in 2–3 weeks

Her condition is manageable and treatable with the right support.

Warm regards Dr.Sumi MS(Ayu)

HELLO,

You area 70 year old woman experiencing -frequent urination at night (5-6times) -moderately high blood sugar (estimated average ~151 mg/dL) -High blood pressure (155/85 even after medicine) -Normal kidney function (creatinine normal)

WHY IS NIGHTTIME URINATION HAPPEING? These are several possible reasons

1) SUGAR MAY BE SLIGHTLY HIGH AT NIGHT When blood sugar is elevated, the kidneys try to remove extra sugar through urine. This pulls more water into urine->you wake up multiple times

2) BLADDER BECOMES MORE SENSITIVE WITH AGE The bladder wall becomes thin, weak, and sensitive. Even small amounts of urine trigger the urge

3) VATA IMBALANCE (in Ayurveda) According to Ayurveda, vata covers the bladder and nerves. when vata increases- due to age, stress, dryness or irregular habits- it causes -frequent urination -sleep disturbance -weak bladder control

4) BLOOD PRESSURE ISSUES -high Bp can affect kidney filtration and fluid balance

5) SIMPLE LIFESTYLE REASOS -drinking water late evening, tea/coffee late day, stress, or a fulstomach at bedtime

6) POSSIBLE URINARY IRRITATION Even mild urinary infection (sometimes without burning can cause frequent urination especially at night

AYURVEDIC VIEW

DOSHA INVOLVED -VATA (Apana vata)= main cause of frequent urination -KAPHA = associated with diabetes and reduced metabolism -PITTA= if there is burning or irritation

BODY TISSUE INVOLVEMENT -Fat metabolism= disturbed in diabetes -Urinary channels= hyperactive or irritated

DIGESTIVE FIRE -Madhyama agni= moderate but slightly weak due to age-> affects metabolism

TREATMENT GOALS

PRIMARY GOALS -reduce nighttime urination -balance vata in bladder -keep blood sugar steady- especially at night -support healthy kidney and bladder function -improve sleep quality -reduce BP into safer range

SECONDARY GOALS -strengthen urinary muscles -improve digestion and metabolism -reduce irritation and inflammation in urinary tract -stabilize daily energy levels

INTERNAL MEDICATIONS

FOR FREQUENT URINATION/ NOCTURIA

1) VARUNDAI KASHAYA= 15 ml with warm water twice daily after meals

2) GOKSHURADI GUGGULU= 1 tab twice daily after meals

3) CHANDRAPRABHA VATI= 1 tab at night helps with urianryfrequency, balances vata-pitta

FOR DIABETES SUPPORT

You are already taking -BGR-34 -Abana 1-1 twice daily

These can continue but may add

1) NISHA AMALAKI CHURNA= 1/2 tsp twice daily after meals with warm water

2) MESHASHRINGI + JAMUN SEED CHURNA= 1/2 tsp twice daily before meals with warm water

3) GUDMARHAN VATI= 1 tab twice daily after meals helps reduce sugar spikes

FOR BLOOD PRESSURE

-SARPAGANDHA VATI= 1 tab at night

-PUNARNAVADI MANDUR= 1 tab twice daily after meals useful in mild fluid retention

Bp monitoring is essential, do not stop your allopathic BP mediicnes

EXTERNAL TREATMENTS

1) OIL MASSAGE= daily gentle massage with warm sesame oil on -feet, lower back, lower abdomen =hels calm vata-> reduces nighttime urination

2) WARM WATER SITZ BATH -sit In warm water for 10 min before bedtime =relaxes bladder muscles

3) FOOT MASSAGE AT NIGHT -apply ghee or sesame oil to soles->improves sleep + bladderstabilty

LIFESTYLE CHANGES -eat warm, easy to digest food -avoid sleeping with a full stomach -avoid excess liquids after 7 pm -reduce exposure to cold wind -maintain regular sleep wake routine -avoid overthinking, worry stress

AVOID -late night tea/coffee -heavy dinner -spicy/oily foods -eating too fast or skipping meals -sitting for long periods without movement -daytime sleep longer than 30 min

YOGA ASAAS -vajrasana 5 min after meals -supta baddha konasana -ardha matsyendrasana -marjari -tadasana -pawanmuktasana exercises

AVOID -forward bending -holding breath -strong twist -fast yoga or heavy strain

PRANAYAM -Anulom vilom= balances vata and calms nerves -brahmari= reduces anxiety, aids sleep -chandra bhedana= cooling, reduces bladder iritation

DIET -warm, freshly cooked food -soft cooked veggies= bottle gourd, ridge gourd, pumpkin -whole grains= barley, millets, red rice -light proteins= mung dal -spices that help digstion= cumin, fennel, coriander, ajwain -bitter foods= karela, methi -fruits= amla, papaya, guava -1 tsp ghee daily= calms vata, and nourishes tissues

AVOID -cold water/refrigerator drinks -fried snacks -bakery foods -sugary foods -potatoes, white rice, bananas -curd at inight - too much salt

HOME REMEDIES -Jeera-dhaniya tea= helps bladder and digestion -Gokshura powder in warm water=good for urinary support -Fenugreek overnight water= helps control sugar levels, reduce slight urinatio caused by sugar spike -Amla + turmeric mix= 1/2 tsp each in warm water improves metabolism and reduces inflammation

-Your condition is common, treatable and manageable with a combination of Ayurvedic care, lifestyle changes, and medical surtvision -Nighttime urination in elderly women often has multiple causes, so a multi - step approach works best -Ayurveda focuses on balancing vata, maintaining stable blood sugar, and calming bladder nerves, which can significantly reduce nighttime urination -With proper diet, medications yoga and adjustments, most people see improvement within 4-8 weeks

DO FOLLOW

HOPE THIS MIGHT BE HELPFUL

Frequent nighttime urination, also known as nocturia, can be bothersome, and might be linked to your slightly elevated blood sugar levels and blood pressure. For someone at age 70, maintaining good control over these aspects are crucial. In Ayurveda, managing such conditions often involves balancing what’s called the kapha and vata doshas.

Given your recent labs and medication, continuing your existing tablets for blood pressure is advisable while also optimizing your lifestyle and diet in line with Ayurvedic teachings. Try an evening meal that’s lighter and consumed earlier, preferably before 7 PM. Foods that are easier on your digestion, like warm, cooked vegetables and clear soups, might be beneficial. Avoid caffeinated drinks and excess fluids after dinner to reduce nighttime urination. Moreover, incorporate barley water into your daily routine, which can be beneficial in balancing kapha and excess fluids.

In terms of herbal supplements, continue with the ones you’ve been prescribed, especially if they’ve been recommended by an Ayurvedic practitioner. Add to your regime a gentle herb like Punarnava, which supports renal function and aids fluid balance gently. Consider taking 1-2 grams of Punarnava powder with warm water or ideally under guidance of a knowledgeable Ayurvedic practitioner for tailored advice aligned with your constitution.

Regular gentle exercises like walking during mornings or yoga can help manage weight; it also supports better metabolic functions. Stress management through meditation or calming practices like pranayama (breathing exercises) can also be helpful.

However, as your B.P. levels remain a bit high, keep regular check-ups with your healthcare provider. If blood pressure persists or you notice worsening of frequent urination despite efforts, further medical assessment may be necessary to rule out any underlying conditions. Always listen to your body and observe how these suggestions make you feel. Adjustments and professional consultation are key to ensure your health remains steady.
