Abstract:

Healthy mother and healthy baby are foremost aims of antenatal care. Progressive anatomical and physiological changes during pregnancy are not only confined to the genital organs however within other systems of the body too, some among them may be felt as discomfort by a pregnant woman. A pregnant woman having pain or burning on micturition, fever with chills, nausea, vomiting and cloudy urine having bad smell can be diagnosed as having Urinary Tract Infection (UTI). UTI is most common bacterial infection encountered during Pregnancy and troublesome to the woman suffering from it. Pyelonephritis, premature delivery and other risk such as PROM, IUGR etc can be the long term result of UTI hence prompt attention is requisite. In the present study Mutragrahahr Yog has been tried in 15 patients for evaluation of its clinical efficacy and adverse / side effects if any. It was observed that Mutragrahahr Yog showed better results ( 87% markedly improved and 17% moderately improved). None of the patient reported any adverse effect during or after the treatment.
