ABSTRACT

The term "Mootrakrichhra" refers to ailments of the Mootravaha Strotas, which indicates difficult micturition. Almost all classical writings describe this ailment, indicating its widespread occurrence in antiquity. It's a sickness where bastimarma is involved. Because it is one of the trimarma, or the primary three essential organs, basti has significant therapeutic value. A thorough explanation of the mootrakricchra and its type has been provided by Acharyas. Ayurvedic classics such as mootravaha srotodushti and mootrakrichhrata depict a variety of main and secondary causes. Doshas vitiated separately by their respective causes or all together get located in urinary bladder and obstruct the urinary passage causing difficulty in urination. Antibiotics which are the main stay of treatment may also get their actions limited because of the prolonged and frequent use due to resistance development/reinfection/relapses etc. therefore in both Ayurveda and modern medicine primary prevention is prioritized, which is also known as Nidanprivarjana. This article aims to clarify the idea of dysuria in Ayurveda, given the similarities between the symptoms of mootrakricchra and dysuria.
