Mutrakrichchhra (UTI)-An Ayurvedic Perspective

Abstract

Mutrakrichchhra is one of the most prevalent health concerns in community practice, and it is a wide  word that encompasses almost all urinary tract infection (UTI) diseases reported in modern medicine.  Mutrakrichchhra's pratyatma lakshana is "Dukhena mutra pravritti," which means "discomfort during  micturition." A urinary tract infection (UTI) is a disorder in which bacteria enter the urinary tract, stay  there, and multiply. Other diseases with Mutrakrichchhra as a lakshana include Ashmari, Mutraghata,  Mutraja vriddhri, Arsha, and Gulma. This sickness is described in practically all key sources that discuss  its prevalence in the ancient world. In Mutrakrichchhra, the prakupit pitta dosha, combined with vata  (mostly Apana vayu), enters the Vasti (urinary bladder) and affects the Mutravaha Srotas, causing  symptoms such as Daha,Ruja,Basti-gurutva,Shotha,Muhurmutrata,Peet mutrata, and Sarakta mutrata. The aforementioned symptomatology is more similar to LUTI symptoms (i.e. Urethritis and Cystitis). The  purpose of this study was to evaluate the mutrakrichchhra literature review according to Ayurveda.
