Prostate Related
Disorders

Every person born as a male has a walnut-sized
gland present right below the urinary bladder,
known as the prostate gland. Its function is to
release the prostate fluid in semen. This gland, with
increasing age, usually becomes enlarged.

This condition is known as

benign prostate hyperplasia
or BPH.

3. Why It Happens?

With increasing size, it starts exerting pressure on
the urinary bladder and urethra, which obstructs
the smooth flow of urine out of the body.

Generally, men over the age of 50 develop this
condition. This condition often leads to other
problems like LUTS (Lower urinary tract symptoms)
and urinary incontinence.

6. Urinary Incontinence

The muscle of the urinary bladder, known as the
detrusor muscle, contracts to hold urine in the bladder,
and relaxes during the flow of urine. With the
progression of age, the mental connection between
the brain and the detrusor muscle weakens.

This causes a very weak contracted state, leading to the
loss of control over the urinary bladder. When control
over the urinary bladder is lost, there is leakage of urine
without the awareness of the person, which is known as
urinary incontinence.

7. Development of BPH

AA Er, There isan enzyme known as 5-alpha

% Ë ang reductase, which converts another
: testosterone into DHT
(Dihydrotestosterone). This DHT is
responsible for the growth of the prostate.
Many studies suggest that sex steroid
hormones like DHT, testosterone and
estrogen are related to BPH and the LUTS.

8. Reasons Behind Prostate Problems

The Ayurvedic philosophy views bodily processes
as being moved by 3 main 'Doshas' or energies,
collectively known as ‘Tridoshas.’ When these 3
doshas are balanced, all bodily processes move
in a smooth and timely manner, including
urination.

Regular consumption of alcohol or beverages
containing caffeine imbalances the Pitta and
Vata doshas, leading to urinary disorders.

9. EATING HABITS: MEALS AT
IRREGULAR TIMES

Excess of junk foods and nutrient deficit diets
also create an imbalance among the tridoshas.

As a consequence, effective digestion suffers,
and slow moving toxins (undigested substances)
accumulate within the body.

These toxins have been named “Aama,” and
upon circulation, they also disrupt the smooth
functioning of a variety of systems.

Lack of adequate exercise and an unreliable
routine throws the body's rhythm off balance,
contributing to these systemic problems.

10. Lack of Hydration

¢ Lack of hydration leads to the stagnation of fluid
processes like digestion and flow of urine.

+ Suppressing natural urinary flow for long periods
of time puts unnecessary stress on the bladder
and can also lead to long term problems
associated with BPH, like LUTS.

+ Jobs that involve sitting in one place for long

stretches of time restrict circulation, and put the

prostate and bladder under pressure or load.

11. How BPH Can Be Managed With Ayurveda

+ Spices like turmeric, commonly present in the Indian diet, have a purifying action
on the urinary bladder, and also reduce the activity of 5-alpha reductase.

+ Hing is another useful spice that cleans the urinary bladder and helps with
complete emptying.

+ Having meals at regular times, and being well hydrated throughout the day helps

to smoothen digestion and reduce the presence of aama (undigested toxins.)

Having juicy fruits is a great way to meet water intake requirements. However, one

should avoid drinking fluids close to bedtime.

12. How Change in Lifestyle Can Helps

Apart from diet, certain lifestyle changes will
also maximally help the body re-align its
various systems by balancing the tridoshas;
getting adequate exercise of moderate
intensity (such as jogging, cycling or
swimming), having a fixed routine for waking
up, having meals, and getting enough high
quality uninterrupted sleep.
