ABSTRACT

Urinary tract infection is one of the most frequent infections occurring in females because of the shorter length of the urethra. The symptoms of urinary tract infection are similar to Mutrakrichra, a disorder of mutravaha srotas, as described in Ayurveda. A 23-year-old female came to OPD, with a chief complaint of painful and burning micturition, increased frequency & urgency of micturition, and fever with chills (on and off). She was treated with Ayurveda medicines Chandanadi kashaya+ Varuanadi kashaya, Guduchi ghanvati, Chandra Prabha vati and appropriate pathya & apathy strictly. The patient had marked relief in the symptoms (decreased painful & burning micturition, fever, and decreased frequency and urgency of micturition) after treatment with Ayurveda medicines. There was a noticeable improvement in the case of Mutrakrichra. Though it is thought acute infective conditions like UTI are difficult to treat with Ayurvedic medicines, Ayurveda oral medicines can be used for better management of Mutrakrichra.
