"URINARY BLADDER DISEASE" SIDDHA CURES. Is that patient LUCKY ???????








  • I am sharing my, experience regarding one of my patients who has relieved from his difficult urinary symptoms and the bad experience during the course of treatment.
  • The patient is 48years male.
  • He is working as a building worker in Soudhi Arabia.
  • He used to avoid passing urine while working, in the previous years.
  • Gradually some urinary problem developed to him.
  • In due course, he was not able to control his urine for even 30 minutes.
  • He felt pain in the lower abdomen and urethra up to Testes ,when his urinary bladder was partially filled.
  • He had to pass urine more frequently during his routine works in the day time and at night.
  • He consulted the physicians there and was diagnosed as a mass in the Urinary bladder.
  • Immediately he was urged for biopsy.
  • The patient was not willing to continue treatment in Arabia and returned home-India for treatment.
The patient consulted me at my clinic and has reported the following Clinical features:
*Pain in the supra pubic region during full bladder.
*Urgency of urination,
*Obstructed urine flow,
*Increased frequency of urination at nights 8-10times,
*Burning urination.


  • I have suggested for Ultra Sound Scan KUB view and a routine blood test.
  • USG findings-revealed bilateral Renal calculi of 5mm size and Specks of calcification(calculi?)6.9mm seen adherent to Rt.infero lateral bladder wall with a normal bladder wall thickness.
  • Routine blood report:
    TC-6100cells/c.mm
    Differential count-P-65% L-28% E-5% M-2%
    Haemoglobin-13.9 gm%
    Blood Urea-25 mg%
    Serum Creatinin-1.08 mg%
  • I have referred the patient to the nearby leading Uro-surgeon for expert opinion.
  • Cystoscopy was done there reported as Trigonal Nodular cystic mass in the bladder.
  • The patient was advised for biopsy.
  • The patient refused to do biopsy and pledged the Uro-surgeon for symptomatic relief.
  • Treatment was done there for a month without any marked improvements except a little pain relief and he was again advised for biopsy.
  • As the patient was not co-operating for biopsy,the uro-surgeon sent back the patient to me without any proper reply.
  • The patient was still in trouble.He was not able to tolerate the pain in the lower abdomen and the other symptoms regarding.
  • The patient requested me for Siddha treatment.
  • As our Siddha system of medicine have excellent curative methods for Genito-Urinary disorders, I have started treatment to the patient without the biopsy examination.
  • The patient assured to investigate fully during treatment.
  • After the first week of treatment,the patient returned me with bright face, and thanked me with confidence.
  • The intolerable pain he felt for years was reduced more than 60% in the very initial set of treatment.
  • He continued the treatment for 25 days more.
  • Wonderful results he has got that his Urine flow came to normal without obstruction and he relieved a lot from his dreadful night frequency of urine.
  • He shared his joy with me and his family.
  • I have advised him to do a CT scan KUB region before going for a biopsy.
  • But, I was so much disturbed when I came to know that the patient has left to Soudhi Arabia and joined to his routine job again not properly informing me.
  • The real thing is that the patient has relieved symptomatically in the short course of Siddha treatment…but not like to investigate.
  • The cost for doing that investigation is not at all the factor for not doing that -but it is an usual habit among many of Indians that they don’t like to accept a disease.
  • Anyway I have missed a proper diagnosis.
  • The patient is really very lucky,otherwise the existing problem a malignant one [cancer groth].

EFFECTIVE TREATMENT FOR "ERECTILE DYSFUNCTION"-SIDDHA CURES...!!!






  • Erectile dysfunction (ED) is a sexual dysfunction characterized by the inability to develop or maintain an erection of the penis.
  • Erectile dysfunction thus is the inability of a man to achieve or maintain an erection sufficient for his sexual needs or the needs of his partner.
  • Erectile dysfunction is also termed as “impotence”.
  • An estimated 152 million men worldwide suffer from ED.
  • In America, alone 30 million men suffer from it.
  • Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism,Diabetes,High Blood Pressure,Kidney Failure,Multiple Sclerosis,Prostate Cancer,Smoking and ,Stress are commonly known to the causes for ED.
MECHANISM OF ERECTION:
  • Penis have two chambers named corpora cavernosa which run throughout the organ are filled with spongy tissue.
  • The corpora cavernosa are surrounded by a membrane, called the tunica albuginea.
  • The spongy tissue contains smooth muscles, fibrous tissues, spaces, veins, and arteries.
  • The urethra, which is the channel for urine and semen runs along underside of the corpora cavernosa.
  • The flow of blood creates pressure in the corpora cavernosa, making the penis expand.
  • The tunica albuginea helps trap the blood in the chambers, thereby sustaining erection.
  • When muscles in the penis contract to stop the inflow of blood and open outflow channels, erection recedes.
Penile erection is managed by two different mechanisms.
  • The first one is the reflex erection, which is achieved by directly touching the penile shaft.
  • The second is the psychogenic erection, which is achieved by erotic or emotional stimuli.
  • The former uses the peripheral nerves and the lower parts of the spinal cord, whereas the latter uses the limbic system of the brain.
  • In both conditions an intact neural system is required for a successful and complete erection.
CAUSES FOR ED:
  • The causes of erectile dysfunction may be physiological or psychological.
  • Neurogenic Disorders -spinal cord and brain injuries, nerve disorders such as Parkinson's disease, Alzheimer's disease, multiple sclerosis,stroke.
  • Hormonal Disorders -Pituitary gland tumor; low level of the hormone testosterone.
  • Arterial Disorders -Peripheral vascular disease, hypertension, reduced blood flow to the penis. Cavernosal Disorders Peyronie's disease.
  • Mental disorders -clinical depression, schizophrenia, substance abuse, panic disorder, generalized anxiety disorder, personality disorders or traits., psychological problems, negative feelings.
  • Surgery of the colon, prostate, bladder, or rectum may damage the nerves and blood vessels involved in erection.
  • Prostate and bladder cancer surgery often require removing tissue and nerves surrounding a tumor, which increases the risk for impotence.
  • Aging-Normal aging process diminishes the mechanism of erection.
  • Lifestyle -Alcohol and drugs, obesity, cigarette smoking .
  • Smoking is a key cause of erectile dysfunction.Smoking causes impotence because it promotes arterial narrowing.
  • Others-Prolonged travel on a bike and or the pressure on the penis is directly related to erectile dysfunction.
INVESTIGATIONS:
  • There are no formal tests to diagnose erectile dysfunction.
  • Some blood tests are generally done to exclude underlying disease, such as diabetes, hypogonadism and prolactinoma.
  • Impotence is also related to generally poor physical health, poor dietary habits, obesity, and most specifically cardiovascular disease such as coronary artery disease and peripheral vascular disease.
  • Duplex ultrasound,Penile nerves function,Nocturnal penile tumescence (NPT),Penile biothesiometry,Penile Angiogram,Corpus Cavernosometry,Digital Subtraction ,Angiography,Magnetic resonance angiography (MRA)

LABORATORY TESTS:

  • Blood counts,
  • urinalysis,
  • lipid profile,
  • serum creatinine
  • liver enzymes,
  • free testosterone in the blood.
TREATMENT:
Treatment to the ED depends upon the cause.
  1. Oral treatment,
  2. External applications,
  3. Injection,
  4. Vacuum pumps,
  5. Hormone treatment and
  6. Surgical treatment are available nowadays.
IN MY CLINICAL PRACTICE:
  • A lot of erectile dysfunction cases with or without their life partners consult for treatment & advice at my clinic daily.
  • Case history is studied well at first.
  • Detailed enquiry about their sexual attempts are analysed.
  • The exact cause for their problem is found with modern investigations and parameters.
  • Psychological causes are being treated with counselling and instructed well for a better sexual performance.
  • Patients with Erectile dysfunction of various causes are treated with separate effective medicine specially made as per the ancient Siddha literature.
  • The ingredients of special medicines are carefully selected free from adulterations.
  • It's really very graceful to treat such cases that we are saving a family from dreadful complications.

SIDDHA CURE FOR "PSORIASIS"

Now under treatment....

Before treatment.....













  • Psoriasis is a chronic, recurrent, inflammatory skin disease of unknown origin.
  • It is characterised by well-circumscribed erythematous, dry elevated lesions of various sizes, covered with mica like scales.
  • It is said to be a disorder of excessive growth and reproduction of skin cells.
  • Psoriasis affects both sexes equally and can occur at any age, although it most commonly appears for the first time between the ages of 15 and 25 years.

CAUSE:

  • Specific cause is not found yet,but it is believed to have a genetic component.

AGGRAVATING FACTORS:

  • These include stress, excessive alcohol consumption, and smoking.
  • Individuals with psoriasis may suffer from depression and loss of self-esteem.

CLINICAL FEATURES:

  • Common features of psoriasis include red scaly patches to appear on the skin.
  • This scaly patches caused by psoriasis is called psoriatic plaques.
  • These plaques are formed very quickly over the skin and accumulates at these sites like silvery-white appearance.
  • The common sites where the psoriatic plaques frequently occur are skin of the knees and elbows,but can affect any area including the scalp and genitals.
  • The disorder is a chronic recurring condition which varies in severity from minor localised patches to complete body coverage.
  • Finger-nails and toe-nails are frequently affected.Psoriasis can also cause inflammation of the joints, which is known as psoriatic arthritis.

TYPES:

  1. Plaque psoriasis ,
  2. Flexural psoriasis,
  3. Guttate psoriasis, and
  4. Pustular psoriasis,
  5. Erythrodermic psoriasis

are the common forms.

OTHER AFFECTIONS:

  • Psoriatic arthritis,Psoriatic nails-leading to deformity of joints and nails.

DIAGNOSIS:

  • A diagnosis of psoriasis is usually based on the appearance of the skin.
  • There are no special blood tests or diagnostic procedures for psoriasis.
  • Sometimes a skin biopsy, or scraping, may be needed to rule out other disorders and to confirm the diagnosis.

GRADING SEVERITY:

  • Psoriasis is usually graded as mild (affecting less than 3% of the body), moderate (affecting 3-10% of the body) or severe.
  • The Psoriasis Area Severity Index (PASI) is the most widely used measurement tool for psoriasis.

PATENT'S QUALITY OF LIFE:

  • Beyond the physical sufferings like itching and some pain,Psoriasis patients are also affected mentally due to strain.
  • Other chronic diseases such as depression, myocardial infarction, hypertension, congestive heart failure or type 2 diabetes are also common among them.
  • Individuals with psoriasis may also feel self-conscious about their appearance and have a poor self-image that stems from fear of public rejection and psycho sexual concerns.
  • Psychological distress can lead to significant depression and social isolation.

TREATMENT:

  • The treatment is based on the type of psoriasis, its location, extent and severity.
  • The patient’s age, gender, quality of life, commodities, and attitude toward risks associated with the treatment are also taken in to consideration.
  • Variation between individuals in the effectiveness of specific psoriasis treatments are common.
  • Because of this, dermatologists often use a trial-and-error approach to find the most appropriate treatment for their patient.
  • As a first step, medicated ointments or creams, called topical treatments, are applied to the skin.
  • If topical treatment fails to achieve the desired goal then the next step would be to expose the skin to ultraviolet (UV) radiation.
  • This type of treatment is called photo therapy.Photo chemotherapy[PUVA] is also related to this.
  • The third step involves the use of medications which are taken internally by pill or injection.
  • This approach is called systemic treatment.
  • The three main traditional systemic treatments are methotrexate, cyclosporine and retinoids.
  • Antibiotics are not indicated in routine treatment of psoriasis.
  • However, antibiotics may be employed when an infection, such as that caused by the bacteria Streptococcus, triggers an outbreak of psoriasis, as in certain cases of guttate psoriasis.

TOXICITY:

  • Patients undergoing systemic treatment are required to have regular blood and liver function tests because of the toxicity due to medication.
  • Pregnancy must be avoided for the majority of these treatments.

RECURRENCE AND RISK:

  • Most people experience a recurrence of psoriasis when systemic treatment is discontinued.
  • Psoriasis is a life-long condition.
  • There is currently no cure but various treatments can help to control the symptoms.
  • Many of the most effective agents used to treat severe psoriasis carry an increased risk of significant morbidity including skin cancers, lymphoma and liver disease.

IN SIDDHA SYSTEM:

  • Psoriasis is known as 'KALANJAGA PADAI NOI' in Siddha system.
  • It comes under 18 types of skin diseases mentioned in the Siddha literature.
  • Siddha system calls different varieties of psoriasis by various names.

*Piththa Vedippu,

*Namattu chori,

*Chenthil uthir noi ,

*Yannai chori ,

*Kalanja padai,

*Varal thirambi are some among them.

  • The famous Siddha Text "Yugi Sindhamani-800" describes a vatha disease "KALANJAGA VATHAM" characterised by pain and swelling over the joints associated with some pealing skin lesions.
  • Based on this Prof.Dr.RAMANAN,MD(s) named the skin disease as 'KALANJAGA PADAI NOI'.

IN MY CLINICAL PRACTICE:

  • Psoriasis cases are common in Siddha practice.
  • Usually the cases I have met are very chronic and challenging.
  • Resistant cases also seek siddha medicine after getting a very long treatment from Dermatologists.
  • Before treatment,I use to investigate the patients thoroughly to rule-out for other systemic diseases.
  • This is very essential for choosing a drug.
  • The treatment is individualised according to the body constitution and condition of the patient.
  • We are preparing an "external medicine for psoriasis" in the form of OIL which gives remarkable results.
  • Initial stage cases respond very well to this external medicine.
  • Internal medicine is administered to the patients who are chronic and resistant to other drugs.
  • The recurrence rate is very minimal.
  • Even recurrance occurs, the interval is too long.

-Psoriasis patients should be aware about the disease and the treatment methods.

-It will be very safe & effective if the patient go for a Siddha treatment from a reliable source.
