Mootrakrucchra (uti): a Review From Ayurvedic and Modern Perspectives

Year: 2026

Type: article

Abstract: Mootrakrucchra is a pathological condition of the Mutravaha Srotas characterized by painful and difficult urination. Classical Ayurvedic texts describe this disorder in detail and classify it into multiple types based on Dosha predominance.[1-5] The disease primarily involves the Basti, one of the vital organs (Trimarma), emphasizing its clinical importance.[2] The symptomatology of Mootrakrucchra shows significant similarity with lower urinary tract infections (UTIs) described in modern medicine.[7,8] This review aims to correlate the Ayurvedic understanding of Mootrakrucchra with the contemporary concept of UTIs.
