Journal Title: International Journal of Ayurveda and Pharmaceutical Chemistry - Year 2017, Vol 0, Issue 0
Abstract
Urinary incontinence is defined as the involuntary loss of urine, sufficiently severe to cause a social or hygiene problem. It becomes more prevalent in old age mainly after 60 years of age. In Ayurveda, this condition can be concluded under the heading of predominant vata disorders. In old age Vata aggravated and creates this condition. For the first time we aimed to evaluate the principle potential of the traditional Ayurvedic approach for the overall clinical outcomes in incontinence of urine in aged. The observational clinical study with 15 patients was conducted at P.D. Patel Ayurveda Hospital, Nadiad, India. Patients were treated with Bala moola kvath, Narayanaa oil orally for one month period along with narayanaa oil abhyanga, nirgundi patra baspasvedana, narayana oil matrabasti. Patients were trained for Kegel exercise and advised to do it for 15 minutes twice every day. Moreover, dietary advice was given. Total duration of the treatment was of 1 month along with 2 months of follow-up period. Assessment was done on the basis of grade score prepared for the urgency and incontinency of urine. Disturbances in daily routine activities also assessed with the help of King’s Health Questionnaire. Statistically significant improvement was noticed in incontinence of urine by 66.6% and in urine urgency by 57.14%. Affected daily activities due to incontinence were also improved. No any unwanted sign or symptom was noticed and the signs and symptoms of the disease as well as daily activities improved in the follow-up period.
