Abstract

Mutrakrichha comes under the disorders of Mutravaha Srotas and mainly deals with Shoola (pain) and Kricchrata (dysuria). Acharya Charaka has described eight types of Mutrakrichha. Charaka has also mentioned eight type of Mutragatha. In Mutrakrichha, the vitiated Pitta Dosha along with Vata (mainly Apana Vayu) on reaching Vasti (bladder) afflicts the Mutravaha Srotas due to which the patient feels difficulty in micturition. Materials and Methods: All the textbooks, classical texts and internet sources were explored for Mutrakrichha and urinary tract infection. Data obtained was compiled and presented in an organised manner. Result and Discussion: Mutrakrichha corresponds to the symptoms of urinary tract infection as per texts and the symptoms of UTI can be well managed as per the principles of Ayurveda.
