ABSTRACT

Till today there is no solid solution for stricture urethra except surgical intervention. The most common presentation includes obstructive voiding symptoms, urinary retention, or urinary tract infections. Obstructive voiding symptoms are characterized by a decreased force of stream, incomplete emptying of the bladder, urinary terminal dribbling (post-void dribbling), straining to void and urinary intermittency. These symptoms are progressive in many patients. There is no medical therapy to treat urethral stricture, Surgical treatment of urethral stricture is indicated when the patient has severe voiding symptoms, bladder calculi, increased post-void residual, urinary tract infection, or when conservative management fails. When the urethral lining forms a scar and the hole becomes narrow, making it difficult for urine to pass through, we call it a urethral stricture. A urethral stricture can cause a very slow urinary stream or make it difficult to completely empty bladder. Anterior urethral injury are thought to most often result from a blunt force blow to the perineum, producing a crushing effect on the tissues of the urethra. Ayurveda have a non invasive solid solution to deal with this notorious urethral stricture i.e. Uttar basti. Uttar basti means intra urethral drug administration. Uttar basti cleans the entire urinary system genital organs. It improves the circulation, opens the channels of the system and removes all the toxicity. It restores the normal functioning of the urinary system and genital region. It also helps in providing nourishment in the specific area. It is a ray of hope for those wishing a treatment without any surgical intervention of urinary and genital system. Uttara Basti is considered a treatment of choice for genital and urinary system. It benefits by pacifying the vitiated apana vayu (type of vata dosha).
