Namaste Shri A. S. Khurana ji,

Thank you for sharing your detailed history. I appreciate your patience and positive approach at 82 years of age 🙏

Ayurvedic Understanding (Samprapti) Post-prostate surgery urinary incontinence is well explained in Ayurveda as a Vata-pradhan disorder, especially: - Apana Vata dushti – controls bladder, urine holding and release - Basti & Mutravaha srotas kshaya – weakness of bladder sphincter and nerves - Dhatu kshaya due to age (Vriddhavastha) – natural decline in muscle tone and nerve control - Surgery acts as Abhighata (trauma) → Vata aggravation → loss of voluntary control over urine, especially during movement, coughing, or exertion.

Good point in your case: No diabetes No major systemic disease ➡️ This improves prognosis even at advanced age. Treatment Goal in Ayurveda Stabilise Apana Vata Strengthen bladder sphincter & pelvic muscles Improve nerve tone Restore bladder holding capacity (Mutra-dharana shakti)

Ayurvedic Prescription (Safe, gentle, age-appropriate)

1. Internal Medicines ① Chandraprabha Vati 1 tablet twice daily after meals With lukewarm water 👉 Strengthens bladder, improves control, reduces urgency

② Ashwagandha Churna ½ teaspoon at night With warm milk or water 👉 Nerve tonic, improves muscle tone & Vata balance

③ Gokshuradi Guggulu 1 tablet twice daily after meals 👉 Supports urinary system & sphincter strength (All medicines for 8–12 weeks initially)

2. External Therapy (Very Important) Abhyanga (Oil massage) Daily gentle massage of: Lower abdomen Lower back Inner thighs

Use Mahanarayan Taila or Bala Taila Duration: 10–15 minutes 👉 This calms Apana Vata and improves nerve signaling

3. Simple Yogic Support (If comfortable) Ashwini Mudra (pelvic contraction) Contract anus as if holding urine Hold 3–5 seconds, relax 10 repetitions, twice daily (Very effective even in elderly patients)

4. Diet & Lifestyle Advice ✔ Warm, light, nourishing foods ✔ Avoid cold water, tea, coffee at night ✔ Avoid suppressing urge to urinate ✔ Keep body warm (especially lower abdomen)

Expected Improvement 4–6 weeks: Reduced leakage frequency 2–3 months: Better control during activity 6 months: Significant functional improvement possible

👉 Complete cure may be difficult due to surgery & age, but quality of life can improve greatly Important Note

If possible, consult a qualified Ayurvedic physician for: Basti therapy (medicated enema) – this is the best treatment for Apana Vata in such cases Even a short course under supervision can give remarkable benefit.

Hello I get how tough frequent incontinence can be, especially after prostate surgery. It really messes with your daily life and confidence. It’s a pretty common issue at your age, and Ayurveda has some gentle, natural ways to help with bladder control, strengthen those pelvic muscles, and fix an imbalance called Apana Vata.

AYURVEDIC UNDERSTANDING

The Main Problem: It’s mostly about something called Vata, specifically Apana Vata. That’s what handles your bladder, pelvic floor, and getting rid of waste.

WHY ITS HAPPENING

Surgery and just getting older can make your pelvic muscles and nerve coordination weak. That’s why urine leaks when you’re active.

WHAT IS THE TREATMENT GOAL

1. Make your pelvic floor and bladder muscles stronger. 2. Get your Apana Vata back in balance. 3. Nourish your body’s tissues. 4. Boost your overall energy and how alive you feel.

AYURVEDIC PLAN

INTERNAL MEDICATION

1.Chandraprabha Vati: Take 1 tablet twice a day after food with warm water. This helps your bladder work better, balances Apana Vata, and cuts down on how often you need to go and how much you leak.

2.Gokshuradi Guggulu:Take 1 tablet twice a day after food. This is good for your urinary system and makes the muscles that control peeing stronger.

3.Ashwagandha (powder):Take 2 grams at night with warm milk or water. It helps muscle tone, supports your nerves, and gives you more energy and better sleep.

These medicines are pretty mild and safe for elderly perople.They’re meant to get things working right again without causing any stress.

EXTERNAL CARE

Oil:Use Bala Taila or Mahanarayan Taila. Lower belly, lower back, inner thighs, and your pelvic floor. Massage it on gently, leave it for 20-30 minutes, then take a warm bath. How Often: Every day or every other day.

Why it helps: It gets moisture to your tissues, calms down Vata problems, and helps your nerves and muscles talk better to your bladder.

GENTLE MOVES AND PELVIC FLOOR EXERCISE

Mula Bandha (Pelvic Floor Squeeze): Squeeze your pelvic muscles like you’re trying to stop peeing. Hold for 3-5 seconds, then relax. Do 10-15 reps, twice a day.

Leg Lifts (gently, lying down): These help your lower stomach and pelvic strength.

Important: Don’t strain yourself, lift anything too heavy, or overdo it. Doing it gently and consistently is way better than trying to do too much.

DIET AND LIFESTYLE

✅INCLUDE * Warm, cooked meals. * Half to one teaspoon of ghee daily. * Warm milk at night. * Small sips of water often throughout the day. * Soft, easy-to-digest foods.

❌AVOID * Cold drinks and ice. * Dry, rough, or super spicy foods. * Too much tea or coffee. * Holding your pee for too long.

DAILY LIVING TIPS

*   Don't rush to the bathroom; try to keep a relaxed schedule.
*   Walk gently every day to help with digestion and blood flow.
*   Keep your lower belly warm, especially when it's cold out.

The key is to keep up with the medicines, massages, and exercises. Even small changes can really make your life better.

With patience and by sticking to this, you can get better control over incontinence, more energy, and a better life.

Wishing you strength, comfort, and feeling good again.

Warm Regards Dr. Snehal Vidhate

Oil (daily) Warm Dhanwantaram Taila OR Bala Taila , gentle lower abdomen & pelvic massage nightly followed by hot water bag 10 min.

Daily Must-Do (most important – pelvic floor) Kegel exercises – tighten pelvic muscles (like stopping urine), hold 5–10 sec , 20 reps × 3 daily (slowly increase). Legs elevated 20 min twice daily. No heavy lifting/straining.

HELLO,

Mr. Khurana after prostate surgery, many elderly patients develop loss of urine control,especially during walking, standing, coughing, or physical activity. This happens because

1) The prostate lies very close to the bladder and urine holding muscles

2) During surgery, even when perfectly done, -tiny nerves -bladder neck muscles -urine holding sphincter may get weakened

3) With increasing age, body repair capacity reduces

In Ayurveda, this condition is called “Apana vata dushti with Basti daurbalya”

WHAT DOES THIS MEAN? -APANA VATA= the force that controls urination, bowel movement, and pelvic muscles -BASTI= urinary bladder and its control system -DUSHTI= imbalance or weakness

So your bladder still makes urine normally, but the control valve has become weak, especially during activity

WHY ALLOPATHIC AND HOMEOPATHIC MEDICINES DID NOT HELP -Tablets can reduce urgency or frequency -But they cannot regenerate damaged nerves or muscles -surgery related weakness needs nourishment + nerve strengthening not suppresion

This is where Ayurveda works differently

TREATMENT GOALS -strengthen urine holding muscles -improve nerve control -stabilize apana vata -prevent further worsening -improve quality of life

INTERNAL MEDICATIONS

1) CHANDRAPRABHA VATI= 1 tab twice daily after meals with lukewarm water for 3 months =improves bladder tone, stregthens urinary sphincter, reduces involuntary leakage, classical medicine for bladder weakness

2) ASHWAGANDHA POWDER= 3gm at night with warm milk for 3 months =nourishes nerves, improves muscle strength, acts as anti aging Rasayana, reduces degeneration after surgery

3) YOGARAJ GUGGULU = 1 tab twice daily after meals for 3 months =improves pelvic circulation, removes stiffness and nerve block, supports nerve muscle coordination

4) BALA ASHWAGANDHADI TAILA= 5 drops with warm milk at bedtime for 2 moths =deep nerve nourishment, strengthens pelvic floor, very useful in elderly weakness

PANCHAKARMA MOST IMPORTANT

MATRA BASTI Oil used= Sahacharadi taila DOSE = 40 ml DURATION=daily or alternate day -7 to 14 days -can be repeated after 2 months

WHY THIS IS ESSENTIAL -directly acts on pelvic nerves -best treatment for Apana vata -safe for elderly -Improves bladder control better than tablets alone In Ayurveda, no treatment for urinary incontinenece is complete without Basti therapy

EXTERNAL TREATMENT

OILMASSAGE -AREA= lower back, lower abdomen, inner thighs -OIL= Bala taila -FREQUENCY= daily =improves nerve condition, reduces dryness and weakness, supports bladder muscles

YOGA ASANAS -mula banda (gentle pelvic contraction) -setu band hasana (supported bridge) -pawanmuktasana -5-10 reps -no strain

PRANAYAM -Anulom Vilom= 10 rounds -Bhramari= 5 times

= Improves nerve controls, reduces stress- related leakage, enhances pelvic circulation

DIET -warm cooked food -milk with ghee small amount -rice, wheat, oats -cooked vegetables -soaked almonds 2-3 daily

AVOID -tea,coffee -alcohol -cold water -spicy and fried food -excess sour items

WHY -dry and cold foods worsens vata -warm, nourishing food supports bladder strength

HOME REMEDIES -warm milk + pinch of nutmeg at night -sit in warm water for 10 min daily -avoid holding urine for long time

LIFESTYLE CHANGE -fixed toiler timings (every 2-3 hours) -avoid heavy lifting -prevent constipation very important -sleep before 10 pm -avoid prolonged stading

EXPECTED RESULTS -4-6 WEEKS= reduced urgency -2-3 MONTHS= beter control -3-6 MONTHS= stable improvement

EXPECTED BENEFITS -40-70% improvement -Better confidence and mobility

Mr. Khurana, at your age and surgical history, Ayurveda offers support, strength,and stability, not false promises

WITH -correct mediicine -regular Matra basti -Diet and lifestyle correction

Meaningful improvement is very much possible

DO FOLLOW

HOPE THIS MIGHT BE HELPFUL

THANK YOU

DR. MAITRI ACHARYA
