Abstract
Discomfort in passing the urine is the cardinal feature of Mutrakrucchra which is commonly seen in the cases of urinary tract infection. It is one of the most common bacterial infections seen in primary care; it is rapidly responsive to modern antibiotic therapy, but still the recurrence remains.Incidence of UTIis higher in women than men, 50–80% of women in the general population acquire at least one UTI during their lifetime.The study was conducted to explore the research in Ayurveda related to mutrakrucchra (Dysuria).Different Ayurveda texts as well as research studies are reviewed for this purpose. In the review,it is found that many single & combination medicines are described invarious samhita but the research work is very less.Large numbers of studies are found onGokshur(Tribulusterrestris) other studiesareon combination medicine. All studies showed potent antibacterial as well as anti-inflammatory anddiuretic properties which are beneficial in the management of mutrakrucchra. No study revealed any significant side effects. From this review, it can be concluded that Ayurveda can be a better treatment modality for Mutrakrucchra.Very less research work is done on it so there is huge scope to search the potency of multiple common drugs described in Ayurvedic text related to mutrakrucchra
