We can correlate stricture of the urethra with Mutra marga sankoch or Mutrotsanga which is a common disease of the urinary tract. Gradual urethral dilatation, transurethral resection of urethral stricture, urethrotomy, urethroplasty etc. are examples of some common surgeries which are practised today to cure stricture of urethra. But recurrence rate is high after all these surgeries while the cure rate is low. Many years ago, in our ancient texts, it is mentioned that uttarbasti can be beneficial for the management of such types of urinary tract diseases. In the present case, a 45-year-old male patient came to the OPD of Shri Krishna Government Ayurvedic College &Hospital, Kurukshetra, Haryana. He had complaints of retention of urine, painful micturition, straining & dribbling of urine for the last 5- 6 years and also patient had to catheterize himself daily in the morning for micturition. So, after taking proper history, clinical examination and investigations (retrograde urethrography) the case was diagnosed as anterior ure- thral stricture and the patient was treated with Ayurvedic para surgical procedure i.e., Tila taila, madhu & lavana uttarbasti to cure stricture of urethra. We got significant results after this study. Hence, through this article, we tried our best to re-establishes the effect of Tila taila, madhu & saindhava lavana uttarbasti in males for the stricture of the urethra.Keywords: Urethral stricture, Mutramarga sankoch, Mutrotsanga, Uttarbasti, Madhu, Saindhava lavana.
