AYURVEDIC UNDERSTANDING
This disorder is typically associated with Vata (Apana Vata imbalance) Causes the loss of bladder control, frequent urination, and urination –Regular intake of toxins, polluted air, and certain medicines (NSAIDs) aggravate Vata –Deterioration of pelvic muscles leads to loss of bladder control
AYURVEDIC TREATMENT PLAN
INTERNAL MEDICATIONS
1. Punarnava Mandur 1 tsp twice daily after food → Purifies and strengthens the urinary tract, lessens the leakage and the swelling

LIFESTYLE RECOMMENDATIONS
Pelvic floor exercises / Kegel exercises every day Do not sit for long periods; take short breaks every 1 hour Reduce the intake of NSAIDs if possible It is better to drink warm water all through the day than cold water Do not consume an excessive amount of coffee, tea, and alcohol Practice deep breathing / Anulom Vilom to pacify Vata

Urinary incontinence, especially when influenced by factors like age, pollution, and medication usage, can indeed be a complex issue. From an Ayurvedic perspective, it could involve imbalances in the Vata dosha, as Vata governs movement including the bladder function. Addressing these concerns requires a multifaceted approach.
Firstly, focus on managing Vata through diet and lifestyle adjustments. Incorporate warm, moist, and grounding foods into your meals. Aim for cooked vegetables, whole grains like rice and oats, and proteins such as legumes and nuts. Healthy fats like ghee can also be beneficial to soothe Vata. Avoid cold, dry, and processed foods which could aggravate Vata.
It’s important to stay hydrated with warm water or herbal teas. Avoid beverages that can irritate the bladder like caffeine and alcohol whenever possible. Since pollution seems to exacerbate your symptoms, consider implementing a routine to purify the air in your living space, such as using indoor plants known for air purification or air purifiers.
Herbal formulations such as Ashwagandha and Bala can be helpful to strengthen the tissue (dhatus) and support the nervous system. These herbs should be taken under the guidance of an Ayurvedic practitioner to ensure safety and efficacy.
Engage in exercises that strengthen the pelvic floor muscles, such as yoga poses like Mula Bandha (root lock) which can be incorporated into your daily routine for long-term benefits. Avoiding stressful activities or those that induce strain could help manage symptoms better.
As NSAIDs seem to worsen your condition, consult your healthcare provider to explore alternative pain management strategies. This is especially crucial as prolonged use of NSAIDs can affect urinary function. Should your incontinence present unexpectedly or worsen rapidly, it’s essential to consult a healthcare professional for a thorough evaluation. Safety and proper medical assessment are always of utmost priority.

HELLO,
Urinary incontinece means loss of control over urine, either as -leakage on coughing, sneezing, walking (stress type) -sudden urge with ability to hold urine (urge type) -continous dribbling -night time leakage
In your case since -It has been present for more than 10 ears -It worsens with age -It runs in the family -It gets aggravated by pollution and pain medicines
This is a chronic , degenerative, constitutional condition , not a simple infected
According to Ayurveda, urine control depends on -Apana vata (downward-moving nerve force) -Basti (urinary bladder and sphincter muscles) -Mamsa Dhatu (muscle tissue) -Majja dhatu (nerves)
WHAT HAS GONE WRONG?
A) VATA DOSHA INCREASE (main cause) with age, stress, pollution, dryness, medicines like NASIDs -vata becomes excessively dry, light, unstable -nerves supplying the bladder weaken -bladder muscles lose tone
B) DHATU KSHAYA (tissue weakness ) over years -pelvic muscles become weak -bladder neck and sphincter cannot close properly
C) HERIDITARY FACTOR (beeja dushti) when parents had similar problems -structural and nerve weakness is inherited -symptoms appear earlier and progress slowly
D) POLLUTION AND NSAIDs -Pollution creates ama (toxic load)-> irritates bladder -NASIDsdry tissues and worsen nerve weakness This is why the problem is long standing and slowly progressive
TREATMENT GOALS -stabilize apana vata -strengthen bladder and pelvic muscles -improve nerve control -reduce irritation and urgency -prevent further degeneration -improve quality of life
