Ganesh Uttam Asole and Gadve Babasaheb Nana

Atonic bladder (neurogenic bladder with poor detrusor contractility) is a urological condition characterized by urinary retention, overflow incontinence, and incomplete voiding. Modern management includes catheterization, cholinergic drugs, or surgical interventions, but with limited success. Ayurveda describes Mutraghata conditions (esp. Vatakr̥ta Mutraghata / Bastikundala) that closely resemble this presentation. Uttarbasti, mentioned by Ācharya Sushruta and Charaka as a specific therapy for Mutravikara, can be an effective line of management. This study presents a single case where Uttarbasti demonstrated significant improvement in bladder function.
