Is there anything you'd recommend for frequent urination?

Answered by Dr. Senthilnathan Subramanian (3 hours later)
Brief Answer:
rule out the cause for your problem

Detailed Answer:
Hi,

Ayruveda treatment rely on treating the cause. There is no Ayurveda drug to control frequent urination which is a symptoms. f your bladder is loaded then you should void it. It is physiology. But if there is a pathology, then we need to find the pathology.

Frequent urination may be due to urinary tract infection or current medication. It is good that you don't have diabetes, as diabetes is a cause. In some cases overactive bladder may induce frequent urination. Kindly rule out with the help of your physician.

I shall try and check for the cause if you kindly give me the details
Whether your problem disturb you during sleep?
Is it really disturbing your work schedule?
9 to 10 times of urination per day is normal, if you take frequent intake of water.

Kindly get back to me for further clarification.

Dr.S.Senthilnathan

Brief Answer:
yoga will be option

Detailed Answer:
Hi,

Frequent urination seems to be an associated symptoms of incontinence. And from my experience, yoga will be the best form of solution. As there is no oral medication for urinary incontinence, I will recommend you starting yoga.

International studies shows pelvic muscle strengthening exercise and practicing yoga will help in urinary incontinence especially secondary to overactive bladder problems. Kindly visit a yoga trainer for a opinion.

Hope I answered your query.
