HELLO, In Ayurveda, frequent urination can be due to an imbalance in vata and kapha doshas, and sometimes pitta if burning or pain is present. Since you mention little urine output and nocturia, it is often linked to vata aggravation in the urination bladder -Vata prakopa-> urgency, frequent urination, sometimes with scanty urine -Kapha involvement-> feeling of incomplete emptying, heaviness in lower abdomen -Pitta involvement-> usually causes burning and reddish urine (not in your case) DIET -lauki-> good choice, light and cooling -cucumber, ash gourd, coconut water- helps reduce vata -warm, cooked meals rice, moong dal -use ghee in small amounts- stabilizes vata AVOID -cold, raw foods (e.g ice cold drinks)-> aggravates vata -excess salty, sour, or spicy foods-> can irritate bladder HYDRATION -Drink 2-3 litres warm waer/herbal teas spread through the day. Avoid drinking heavily just before bed INTERNALLT 1) TRIPHALA CHURNA= 1 tsp with warm water at bedtime-> supports urinary tract infection 2) PUNARNAVA KASHAYA= 20 ml with equal water after meals = diuretic, anti inflammatory 3) GOKSHURA CAPSULES= 1 cap twice daily after meals =helps strengthen bladder function, reduces frequent urination 4) MUSTA CHURNA= 1 tsp with warm water after meals =balancs vata LIFESTYLE -AVOID= late night cold drinks or heavy fluid intake before sleep PRACTICE -warm water sitz bath before bed> relaxes bladder and vata -abdominal massage with warm sesame oil-> calms vata -regular sleep-> maintain circadian rhythm GENTLE YOGA -baddha konasana -vajrasana -supta baddha konasana = improves pelvic and bladder circulation HOME REEMEDIES -Fenugreek water boil 1 tsp in water and drink once daily -coriander decoction soothes bladder irritation DO FOLLOW HOPE THIS MIGHT BE HELPFUL THANK YOU DR. MAITRI ACHARYA
Thank you so much Dr Achaya for replying to my concern. I have had UTI in the past and Lauki was always able to cure it but this time it did not so suspecting it might be a prostate problem, I consumed Gobi (Caulifower) and Palak (Spinach) and it seems to work very well. Now I have to wake up every 3 hours ad the discharge is in good quantity. Not sure if it is actually a prostate problem and I am definitely going to try the home remedies and ayurvedic medication you prescribed!
Absolutely perfect now! I have to get up only twice last night and even during the day I see so much difference!

-Steve, frequent nighttime urination with only a little urine could be a urinary tract infection or bladder irritation. Eating lauki won’t cure it. -Internal Medicines (Oral): 1)Chandraprabha Vati – 2 tablets, twice a day after meals with warm water 2)Gokshura powder – 5 g, with warm milk or water at night 3)varunaadi kashyap 15ml, twice a day -Diet & Lifestyle: Avoid cold drinks, ice, caffeine, and very spicy or oily foods. Drink 1.5–2 liters of warm water during the day, but reduce intake 1–2 hours before sleep. Include cooked lauki, bottle gourd, and green vegetables. Practice gentle evening walks and stress management (yoga, pranayama). - External Measures: Sit in a warm water bath (hip bath) 10–15 minutes once daily if there’s burning sensation. Duration: Usually 2–3 weeks, but must be reassessed if symptoms persist or worsen.
