In Ayurveda, conditions like grade 3 prostatic enlargement (prostomegaly) and cystitis (inflammation of the urinary bladder) are often associated with imbalances in the Vata and Kapha doshas. These imbalances can lead to obstruction in the urinary pathway, causing urinary retention, infection, and discomfort. While advanced cases may sometimes require surgical intervention in allopathy, Ayurveda offers supportive treatments that can manage symptoms, reduce inflammation, and support healthy prostate and bladder function.
Herbal formulations like Gokshura (Tribulus terrestris) and Varuna (Crataeva nurvala) are known to help reduce urinary obstruction, relieve inflammation, and support the health of the urinary tract. Gokshura is a diuretic that can help flush out infection while soothing the urinary passages, and Varuna has been traditionally used to relieve urinary retention. Another beneficial herb is Punarnava (Boerhavia diffusa), which supports kidney and bladder health and helps clear excess fluids, reducing any Kapha-related swelling.
In addition, a decoction of Chandraprabha Vati, a classical Ayurvedic formula, may help in managing cystitis and maintaining prostate health. Regular intake of these herbal remedies can gradually alleviate urinary discomfort and reduce the size of an enlarged prostate. It's also essential to consume a light, easily digestible diet, avoid heavy and oily foods, and include warm spices like turmeric and cumin that help improve digestion and reduce inflammation.
Lifestyle changes, such as practicing gentle yoga asanas like Vajrasana and Matsyasana, can aid in strengthening the pelvic region and improving circulation. Warm sitz baths with Triphala powder or neem leaves may provide relief from bladder discomfort and help control infection.

Totally get it that you're looking for options other than surgery. In Ayurveda, we often look at the root causes like dosha imbalances. For a condition like prostate enlargement and bladder issues, it's usually related to an aggravated Vata and sometimes Pitta, depending on symptoms.
First off, let's think about your diet. Important to focus on foods that calm Vata dosha. So, warm, cooked foods like soups and stews, and spices like ginger, cumin and turmeric can be great. Avoid icy drinks and foods, anything too dry or crunchy. Stick to warm water instead.
Then there's herbs, and Ayurveda has quite a few to offer. You might wanna consider Gokshura (Tribulus terrestris) and Punarnava (Boerhavia diffusa) which are said to help with urinary functions. Saw palmetto is sometimes used too though it's more of a Western herbal remedy, it kinda aligns with Ayurvedic practices by balancing doshas.
Don't forget lifestyle changes. Stress management is key since aggravated Vata can increase with stress. Try daily yoga or meditation exercises — keep it simple. Just dedicated 10-15 mins each day could make a diff. Also, keeping a regular sleep schedule is critical for balancing Vata.
Kegel exercises might seem like a physical remedy, but they're actually relevant here too. They can strengthen the pelvic floor muscles, which might provide some relief in symptoms.
If you're dealing with active infection, it's always smart to combine Ayurveda along with conventional treatments. 'Cause infections shouldn't be ignored. And please, regular checkups with a health professional are still crucial, since monitoring any changes in your condition is important.
Hope this gives you some directions to explore! Take things slow and keep listening to your body.
