Abstract: Urinary incontinence (UI) is a significant social issue, occurring more frequently in post-menopausal women than other common conditions like hypertension, diabetes, or depression. Urinary incontinence affects women twice as often as men. It occurs in about 20-30% of young women, 30-40% of middle-aged women, and up to 50% of elderly women. Thus, a case report is made on managing urinary incontinence with Mutramargagata Uttara basti, and the assessment is done using the Revised Urinary Incontinence Scale (RUIS) before and after the treatment. The results showed a significant improvement within two cycles of Mutramargagata Uttara basti with ksheerapaka and proved to be very useful in combating urinary incontinence problems.
