POSTVOID URINE RETENTION OF 227 CVINDICATES THAT YOUR BLADDER IS NOT EMPTYING COMPLETELY WHICH CAN CAUSE DISCOMFORT AND INCREASE THE RISK OF URINARY TRACT INFECTIONS THE PROSTATE SIZE OF 16 CC IS WITHIN NORMAL RANGE SO THE RETENTION IS MORE LIKELY DUE TO FUNCTIONAL OR VATA RELATED ISSUES RATHER THAN OBSTRUCTION

Medicines 1 Gokshuradi Guggulu – 2 tablets morning + 2 tablets night after food 2 Chandraprabha Vati – 2 tablets morning + 2 tablets night after food 3 Varunadi Kashayam – 20 ml + 60 ml warm water morning empty stomach 4 Punarnavasava – 15 ml + 30 ml warm water after lunch & dinner 5 Shilajitwadi Vati (gold) – 1 tablet morning with warm water

Daily Must-Do Kegel exercises – 50 reps × 3 daily (hold 5–10 sec) – most important for bladder control Last water intake before 7 PM (only small sips after) Toilet twice after 8 PM + once just before sleep Legs elevated 20 min twice daily

Diet Give only: moong khichdi + ghee, pomegranate, coconut water Avoid completely: tea/coffee after 4 PM, spicy/sour, cold drinks

Continue Tamsulosin + Bethanechol unchanged – add above for faster & permanent bladder emptying. Start Gokshuradi + Chandraprabha tonight – residual urine will reduce very soon.

Hello I can understand your concern regarding urine retention, especially when you’re already on meds and still holding a lot, is super frustrating. But dont worry we are here to help you out 😊

YOUR CONCERN

–A lot of leftover pee: 227 cc is pretty high. –Normal prostate: Your prostate is 16cc, which is good. –Your current meds: You’re taking Tamcool 0.4mg (Tamsulosin) and Bchol 50mg (Bethanechol). –The main problem: Your bladder isn’t emptying well, but it’s not because of a big prostate. It’s more of a bladder function issue.

AYURVEDIC UNDERSTANDING

Ayurveda sees this as a problem called Mutraghata / Mutra-avrodha. It usually comes from:

Apana Vata acting up:This is about the energy that helps things move downwards in your body. Bladder muscles not working together. Weak bladder squeezes. Stress and nerves playing a part.

Since your prostate is fine, it’s not a blockage. It’s your bladder not doing its job right, and Ayurveda can really help with that.

IMPORTANT NOTE

Don’t just stop your current meds! We’ll add the Ayurvedic medications alongside your current treatment. If things get better, then we can think about slowly reducing your regular medicines.

Our main goals: * Lessen the leftover pee. * Help your bladder empty better. * Avoid catheters and other issues.

What we’re aiming for with treatment: * Make your bladder muscles stronger. * Get that Apana Vata back in balance. * Help your bladder nerves and muscles talk to each other better. * Reduce the amount of pee left after you go. * Get you to almost no retention, or at least very little, safely.

AYURVEDIC PLAN OF TREATMENT

1. INTERNAL MEDICATION

1.Chandraprabha Vati: Take 2 tablets, twice a day, after food. It’s a classic for bladder issues, helps tone up bladder muscles, and balances Apana Vata.

2.Varunadi Kashayam Take 15 ml with 15 ml warm water, twice a day, before food. Helps pee flow better, reduces functional blocks, and strengthens bladder.

3.Gokshuradi Guggulu Take 2 tablets, twice a day, after food. Helps bladder empty and supports your urinary tract.

2. PANCHAKARMA

Basti therapy is key here. What’s best:- Matra Basti / Yoga Basti with Dashamoola Taila or Sahacharadi Taila. Why it works: It directly helps fix Apana Vata, improves bladder nerve supply, and often makes a difference in pee retention within weeks.

DIET AND LIFESTYLE (These are crucial!):

❌Avoid: * Cold water * Too much tea/coffee * Alcohol * Spicy, dry, junk food * Holding your pee * Sitting for long periods without moving

✅INCLUDE * Just warm water * Soft, freshly cooked food * Rice, wheat, lentils * Cooked veggies * Ghee (1-2 teaspoons a day)

Remember: Never push to pee. Just sit, relax, and let it happen naturally.

Bladder Training (Helpful little things): –Go every 2-3 hours, on a schedule –Double voiding: Pee, wait 2 minutes, then try again. –Relax your pelvic floor muscles** (don’t tighten them).

Checking your progress:

After 6-8 weeks, get these checked again: * Pee left in your bladder (with an ultrasound). * Your pee routine. * Kidney function tests (if your doctor suggests them).

What to expect – not holding pee at all: * Many people go from over 200 cc to less than 50 cc. * Getting to zero retention might not happen right away, but you definitely can improve bladder function. * Dealing with this now can stop permanent bladder damage.

Your problem is a functional one, and it can get better! Especially since your prostate is normal, you’re already getting treatment, and we’re addressing it early. With Ayurveda, Panchakarma, and consistent effort, your bladder can work much better.

Warm Regards Dr. Snehal Vidhate
