Acharya Charaka has mentioned eight types in Sutrasthana Further, in Siddhisthana thirteen types of Basti rogas have been described under the heading of Mutradosha. Acharya Sushruta has explained twelve types of Mutraghata in Uttaratantra but in spite of Bastikundalika and Vidvighata varieties as described in Charaka. Sushruta has described the two type of Mutroukasada i.e Pittaja and Kaphaja while Charaka and Vagbhata described only one type i.e. Mutroukasada6. Ashtanga Sangraha and Ashtanga Hridaya, includes Mutrakricchra and Ashmari rogas. Acharya Vagbhata has categorized the diseases of Mutravaha Srotasa into two types i.e. Mutra Atipravrittijanya and Mutra Apravrittijanya Rogas. Mutra vegavarodha is mentioned as one of the most important causative factor in Mutraghata. It is but clear that the Apana vayu is responsible for normal voiding of urine, if deranged by voluntary suppression of urge of micturition which results in Mutraghata
