In [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ayurveda Ayurveda], much emphasis has been given to the role of meda in the pathogenesis of prameha. However, its role is not only as a dushya (disturbed functioning of the dhatus), but something more than that. Bahudrava shleshma (kapha that contains too much liquid) joins and affects meda, causing it to become abadha (unobstructed or fluid) in nature. This form of meda has been described to have an effect on mamsa (muscle tissue), thereby increasing the volume of body fluid. This has been described as sharira- kleda (body fluid). This route of pathogenesis for prameha is closely related to obesity. | In [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ayurveda Ayurveda], much emphasis has been given to the role of meda in the pathogenesis of prameha.
