It has dealt with many dreaded diseases under the heading of Mutrakricchra, Mutraghata, Mutrashmari etc. Mutrashmari is one of the most common and distressing maladies among the group of urinary disorders.Acharya sushruta, the pioneer in the art and science of surgery has described widely and comprehensively about the Mutrashmari with its classification, symptomatology, etiology, pathology, complications and its management. It is the proof for the depth of knowledge of the Acharyas on the subject of urinary disorders as a whole. Among all the urinary problems described in Ayurvedic texts, there is one variety where both the medicinal and the surgical treatments are advised and agreed upon by all the Acharyas and this entity is the Mutrashmari. The important factor i.e. the diagnostic part in case of a stone, the advice given by ancient Acharyas seems to be true even at present who were of the idea that before going for the treatment sure shot diagnosis is important both for the physician and the patient.
