Abstract Ayurveda, the ancient science of life, places profound emphasis on the integrity of Srotas (body channels), as their proper functioning is essential for maintaining health and preventing disease. Among these, the Mutravaha Srotas—responsible for urine formation, transport, and elimination hold significant importance in sustaining homeostasis and ensuring the removal of metabolic wastes. A close study of the ancient surgical treatise Sushruta Samhita reveals that urological disorders constituted a significant and well-recognized domain within early medical science. Mutraghata is one of the most significant Mutravaha Srotas disorders described in Ayurveda, characterized by obstruction, difficulty, or retention of urine. The Bṛhattrayi elaborates on the etiological factors, Doshic involvement, symptomatology, and progressive pathological mechanisms (samprapti) underlying these conditions, offering detailed guidance for diagnosis and management. Understanding Mutraghata through the lens of Srotodushti not only enhances clinical clarity but also bridges Ayurvedic concepts with modern urological pathophysiology. This focused review synthesizes the descriptions available in Charaka Samhita, Sushruta Samhita, and Ashtanga Hṛidaya, highlighting the multidimensional approach of Ayurveda toward Mutravaha Srotas, its vitiation, and the resulting manifestation of Mutraghata.
