Abstract

Micturition, commonly known as urination, is a complex process involving multiple systems. Various disruptions can occur within this system, which healthcare professionals frequently encounter in their daily practice. Among these, urinary incontinence (UI) is particularly common in women. UI is characterized by the inability to control urination voluntarily and is generally categorized into stress UI, urge UI, and mixed UI. According to Ayurveda, urinary disorders are classified as mutra apravrutti rogas (Urine retention disorders) and mutra atipravritti rogas (Excessive urination disorders), with UI being considered a part of the latter. This report presents the case of a 65 year old married woman who experienced involuntary urination along with urinary urgency and frequency persisting for 3 years. She also reported accompanying abdominal pain. After thorough examinations and diagnostic assessments, the patient was treated with Ayurvedic medicine over a period of 20 days.
