About BPH

Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia, or BPH, affects men all over the world. It has varying symptoms including an urgent need to urinate, inability to urinate fully, and a weak stream of urine. Men with BPH are more prone to wake up in the middle of the night to urinate and there might be blood in their urine as well. Urinary incontinence is often experienced alongside BPH and this condition is characterized by losing control of the bladder. 

 

Causes of BPH and Urinary Incontinence 

The causes of BPH are as follows:

• Some men use  beta-blockers for a condition that they are suffering from. Beta-blockers can cause an increase in the risk of prostate gland enlargement in men
• Family history can contribute to enlargement of the prostate gland in men. You are more prone to prostate gland enlargement if any man in your immediate family has had the problem. A blood relative is more likely to increase your likelihood of having the problem
• Men who are diabetic or suffer from any type of heart disease are at a higher risk of developing BPH symptoms and getting the disease
• BPH can be caused as a result of lifestyle. Men who do not exercise sufficiently or lead a sedentary lifestyle are more likely to get BPH. Men who are overweight or obese are more likely to develop symptoms of BPH too 

 

Urinary incontinence causes are as follows:

• Age is a major factor that can cause urinary incontinence. It  causes the bladder muscles to weaken which increases the risk

• An enlarged prostate can cause urinary incontinence

• If your pelvic floor muscles have been damaged, then you are at a higher risk of developing urinary incontinence

• Bladder cancer is one of the causes of urinary incontinence

• Medicines such as those used to control blood pressure can cause urinary incontinence. Certain sedatives can increase the risk of urinary incontinence

• If you suffer from urinary tract infections then you are more likely to develop urinary incontinence

• Urinary incontinence can be caused if you drink too much alcohol or other fluids such as water and coffee

• Kidney stones can lead to urinary incontinence

 

Ayurveda On Prostate Health

Prostate health is of importance to men according to Ayurveda and any imbalance should be rectified at the start of the first symptom. Many men think that prostate problems only occur after a certain age but this does not hold true. Prostate enlargement can occur early when the imbalances in the doshas are excessive. There are many reasons why prostate problems develop in men and one of the reasons is lack of exercise. Men who have an over-active sex life can develop prostate problems as well. Men who drink alcohol daily can develop prostate-related problems. 

Men who have a high toxin buildup in their bodies are more likely to experience problems related to the prostate gland. Men who don’t drink enough water can get prostate disorders. Men who do not urinate when they have an urge to do so can essentially increase the risk of prostate-related issues. Those men who don’t follow a proper routine, whether it is for eating or sleeping or other activities, are more likely to suffer from prostate gland related problems and issues. The men who sit all day without moving much are prone to prostate problems. 

Ayurveda links prostate problems with ama. Ama is defined as the buildup of impurities in the body that occur due to weak digestion. An enlarged prostate can be caused when the ama combines with rakhta dhatu and rasa dhatu. The reason is that this combination affects the mootra vaha srotas which in turn causes the prostate gland to enlarge and this can lead to BPH among other problems. Aging is seen as one of the causes of this taking place but an increase in ama can occur due to imbalance early in the life of men as well.

As per Ayurveda, when the prostate is affected by Vata imbalance, it leads to a condition known as Vatashteela. (Here, the reference to astheela is made to compare the prostate to astheela, a small stone used to sharpen iron weapons). Apana Vata is a type of Vata, which is vitiated leading to this condition. Ayurveda states that holding back urination or controlling defecation is one of the causes of this condition. Old age, general debility, improper digestion, and consuming more of dry food can cause this vitiation. BPH due to Vata vitiation results in symptoms like intermittent urination, froth in the urine, foul-smelling urine, and pain while urinating. 

When the Kapha Dosha is prominent, the symptoms that can be observed are excess urination at night, feeling of incompleteness even after voiding, slow stream of urine, and straining to pass urine. In case Pitta is affected, then there is likely to be irritating of the urinary bladder accompanied by inflammation. 

There are various ayurvedic solutions available that are linked to improving diet and lifestyle. Men should eat warm food as this can help alleviate ama and increase digestion power. Adding turmeric to food is an effective way of preventing prostate problems from occurring. Men should eat asparagus, broccoli, cabbage, and cauliflower when they are in season. These are effective in treating prostate problems. Mild spices should be used when cooking food. Adding fibrous food to the diet is highly beneficial for men. Spices such as black pepper are effective too. 

Avoiding certain foods that are detrimental to effective prostate function is a good idea. Men should not eat extreme tasting foods. That is, avoiding food that is too salty, oily, spicy, or sweet is recommended in Ayurveda to ensure a balance of doshas. Water is one of the easiest ways to balance doshas. Men should drink water throughout the day. However, drinking before going to bed is not recommended as it can cause men to wake up at night to urinate. Drinking milk or lassi is recommended for ensuring healthy prostate. Grains such as quinoa are recommended for a healthy prostate.

 Men can eat soaked almonds or walnuts as these can help balance the three doshas. Men should ensure they do something about regular bowel movements as this can help ease prostate gland-related problems. Men can take herbal zinc supplements for treating prostate related problems as well according to Ayurveda. Apart from these easy to follow tips, there are some lifestyle changes that men can make to prevent and help in the treatment of prostate gland related problems and other men problems. 

Yoga is one of the best ways to exercise and some asanas can be extremely beneficial for men. Garudasana, sarvangasana, simhasana, and shirshasana are four powerful poses that help alleviate men’s problems. Kapalabhati is effective breathing pranayama that does wonders. Men should quit smoking and drinking alcohol if they want to improve their prostate health. Ayurveda encourages taking breaks during work instead of sitting in one place for long periods. During this break, men can stretch and move around to.

Sleeping is important and Ayurveda states that you should get adequate sleep according to your needs. It is best if men follow a routine so that they sleep well every night. This can help keep the prostate healthy. Men should focus on maintaining their body temperature as anything extreme can cause an imbalance to occur. Men can opt for oil massage especially of their hands and feet as this can balance doshas and relax the body.
