While there are ''gulma'' variants like ''paittika'' and ''kaphaja gulma'' caused by an excess of ''pitta'' and ''kapha'' respectively, it is essentially a ''vata'' disorder. ''Sannipatika gulma'' is caused due to the vitiation of all the three ''doshas''. Since abdominal organs have ''mamsadhatu'' as the main component, all the ''siragranthi'' (glandular/tumorous) types of ''srotodushti'' (vitiation of channels carrying body components) of abdominal viscera have also been covered under ''gulma''. This chapter also covers obstruction and inflammation of viscera having no swelling.

=== Classification of ''gulma'' ===

Line 79: Line 79:

There are five types of ''gulma''- ''vata'' dominant ''gulma'', ''pitta'' dominant ''gulma'', ''shleshma''/''kapha'' dominant ''gulma'', ''nichaya'' (''tridosha'' dominant) ''gulma'', and ''shonita gulma''.[3]

=== Agnivesha’s question ===

Line 110: Line 110:

Lord Atreya replied, “Agnivesha! Specific characteristics of the five ''gulma'' as well as other diseases are defined on the basis of their etiology, prodromal symptoms, clinical features with various types of pains, and therapeutic applicability.”[5]

=== Etio-pathogenesis of ''vata''-dominant ''gulma'' ===

Line 163: Line 163:

Such vitiated ''vata'', on entering the ''mahasrotas'', hardens due to dryness forming a mass or swelling localised in the regions of heart, urinary bladder, sides and the navel. The condition, ''gulma'' (or ''vata gulma''), is painful and can take the shape of a single swelling or multiple nodules of various types. It sometimes gets aggravated and enlarged, sometimes diminished, and causes mild or severe pain due to instability of ''vayu''. Sometimes there are tingling sensations like ants crawling on body and frequent onset and diminution of various types of painful sensations such as piercing, breaking, twitching, extension, contraction, numbness, hyperaesthesia, etc. These sensations could be accompanied by a rise in temperature usually in the evenings, dryness of mouth, difficulty in expiration, horripilation at the onset of pain and complications such as spleen (enlargement), distension and gurgling sound in the abdomen, indigestion, ''udavarta'' (upward movement of ''vata''), bodyache, pain in the lateral side of the neck, head and temple regions and ''bradhana'' (swellings of the inguinal region) with appearance of blackness, reddishness and roughness in skin, nails, eyes, face, urine and feces. The disease aggravates due to these etiological factors and pacifies due to opposite factors. These are characteristic features of ''vata gulma''. [7]

=== ''Pitta''-dominant ''gulma'' ===

Line 201: Line 201:

Aggravated ''vata'', along with vitiated ''pitta'', gets (completely or partially) collected in the ''amashaya'' and produces the same types of pain as mentioned for ''vata gulma''. Due to aggravation of ''pitta'' in certain cases, the patient feels a burning sensation (with hyperacidity) in the belly, cardiac region, chest and throat while letting out smoky and sour eructations at the same time. In the location of ''gulma'', there is burning sensation, pain, sensations of fuming, sweating and moistening, laxity, tenderness and slight horripilation. The patient could exhibit symptoms such as fever, giddiness, burning pain, thirst, dryness of throat, palate and mouth, fainting and diarrhea, and develops greenish or yellowish discoloration of skin, nails, eyes, face, urine and feces. The disease aggravates due to these etiological factors and pacifies due to opposite factors. This variant of ''gulma'' is called ''pitta gulma''. [9]

When the symptoms of three ''doshas'' are exhibited, a ''gulma'' patient is said to be ailing from ''sannipatika gulma''. This condition is incurable. [12]

=== ''Shonita gulma'' ===

Line 299: Line 299:

This vitiated ''vata'' gets into the cervico-vaginal canal and checks the menstrual flow. If this continues for a prolonged period, the menstrual blood being obstructed accumulates and enlarges the abdomen. The patient consequently suffers from pain, cough, diarrhea, vomiting, anorexia, indigestion, bodyache, excess sleep, lassitude, dampness, and excessive salivation. There occurs appearance of milk in breasts, dark coloration of lips and areolar region, excessive heaviness in eyes, fainting, nausea, longing for certain food articles as seen during pregnancy, swelling in feet, dilatation of the vaginal orifice and foul smelling discharge from the vagina. There is pulsation in the entire mass of ''gulma'', confusing the patient (or her attendants) into thinking that she is pregnant. [14]

Line 322: Line 322:

These five types of ''gulma'' have the following prodormal symptoms just prior to occurring: aversion to food, anorexia and indigestion, disturbed metabolism, burning sensation after taking meals, vomiting and unusual eructations, reduced urge for flatus, urine and bowel movements, pain, distension, gurgling sound, horripilation and diarrhea due to ''vata'', loss of appetite, debility, and inability to endure satiety.

=== Prognosis and general principles of management ===

Line 367: Line 367:

In the case of ''gulma'', all the measures for pacification of ''vata'' should be administered properly because after ''vayu'' is controlled over, other aggravated ''doshas'' can be alleviated even with small remedies. [17]

Line 399: Line 399:

Thus ends the third chapter on the diagnosis of ''gulma'' in the treatise composed by Agnivesha and redacted by Charak.

==~~= ''~~Tattva Vimarsha'' Fundamental Principles===

+

== Tattva Vimarsha (Fundamental Principles) ==

*''Gulma'' is a disease of the ''mahastrotas'' (gastro-intestinal tract/abdomen) and is caused due to predominance of ''vata''. It is of five types depending upon its location (limited to the gastro-intestinal region between the heart and the bladder). Four types of ''gulma'' are common to both males and females while the fifth, ''raktaja gulma'', is a condition limited to females.

Line 407: Line 407:

*Treatment of ''vata gulma'' includes ''vata''-alleviating unction, fomentation, mild unctuous purgation, enema, and use of sweet, sour and salty substances. If ''vata dosha'' is pacified in ''gulma'' disease, then other two ''dosha'' can also be controlled.

−

==~~= ''~~Vidhi Vimarsha~~'' /~~ Applied Inferences ===

+

== Vidhi Vimarsha (Applied Inferences) ==

A comprehensive effort has been made in [[Ayurveda]] to describe different types of swellings occurring in the body e.g. ''gulma, udara roga, vriddhi roga, granthi, arbuddha, shopha,'' and ''vidradhi'', etc. They can be distinguished from each other according to their specific characteristics as written in different classics of [[Ayurveda]]. Generalized abdominal swellings have been described under the heading of ''udara roga'' (abdominal diseases including ascitis), while localized, non-suppurated swellings are ''gulmas''. Other localized swellings, such as ''vriddhi roga'' (hernia and hydrocele), have also been described by ancient authors but such swellings are in regions other than the gastro-intestinal region, or in parts of the body such as the scrotal and inguinoscrotal region.

Line 413: Line 413:

''Shopha'' is a localized inflammatory swelling. ''Vidradhi'' (abscess) are also localized but large suppurative lesions and are deep - rooted that may develop either from external surfaces or internal body cavities. ''Granthi'' (cyst) and ''arbuda'' (tumor) are also localized, progressively increasing knotty lesions and are primarily non suppurative in nature. Such swellings may arise in any part of the body and are commonly known as neoplastic lesions.

−

==== Etiopathogenesis of ''gulma'' ====

+

=== Etiopathogenesis of ''gulma'' ===

In [[Charak Samhita]], vitiated ''vata dosha'' is considered as major etiological factor for the development of any type of ''gulma''.<ref>CH Chi 28/58</ref> Among the five types of ''vata'' mentioned in [[Charak Samhita]], vitiated ''apana'' and/or ''samana vata'' seem to be the primary etiological factors of ''gulma'', since these are mainly responsible for the normal physiological functions of ''mahastrotas''. The prodromal symptoms of ''gulma'' also point towards these two e.g. aversion to food, anorexia, and diminished urge to pass flatus, urine and feces.

Line 423: Line 423:

Also, in the absence of any ''dushya'' (''dhatu'' and ''mala''), these swellings are commonly non-suppurative in nature.<ref>Su Utt 42/6-7</ref> There are, however, some cases where suppuration may take place. For example, in [[Chikitsa Sthana]], Charak has mentioned that suppuration may takes place in ''pittaja gulma'' and further elaborates the various stages of suppuration of ''gulma'' i.e. ''ama'' (immature or initial stage), ''pachyamana'' (intermediary stage) and ''pakwa awastha'' (final mature stage) etc. similar to the stages seen in various suppurative conditions like ''vidradhi''. Chakrapani commented that when the ''pitta gulma'' is not treated timely, ''pitta dosha'' and ''rakta dhatu'' get aggravated (together or separately), and involves the deeper structure (''kritmulam'').

−

==== ''Shadkriyakala'' (lifecycle) of ''Gulma'' ====

+

=== ''Shadkriyakala'' (lifecycle) of ''Gulma'' ===

#''Sanchaya-Vata'' accumulates in ''vatasthana'' (''pakwashaya'', or the intestines) with the consumption of ''vatika'' food and activities such as excessive exercise, suppressing emergent urges etc., further aggravating it.

Line 432: Line 432:

#''Bheda''-When the ''gulma'' is not treated at the fourth and fifth stage, complications like ''bradhna roga'' (inguinal swelling), ''jwara'' (fever), ''vidbheda'' (loose stools/diarrhea), and suppuration (in case of ''pittaja gulma'') occur where surgical intervention could be necessary.

−

==== Location of ''gulma'' ====

+

=== Location of ''gulma'' ===

With respect to the ''adhishthana'' (location) of ''gulma'', five major sites have been mentioned<ref>CH. Chi. 5/8</ref>, including the ''hridaya, nabhi, basti,'' and ''parshwadwaya'' (flanks). In the context of this chapter, ''hridaya'' should be taken as the upper part of the abdominal cavity rather than the thoracic cage as described in [[Sharira Sthana]]. ''Vata gulma'' most commonly occurs in ''basti'', while ''pittagulma'' occurs most commonly in the ''nabhi'' region, and ''kaphagulma'' in the ''hridaya'' and ''parshwadwaya'' regions.<ref>Vagbhata Gulma Nidana</ref> The ''yakrita gulma'' occurs in the region of ''hridaya, ashtheela gulma'' in the region of ''kukshi'' (hypogastrium), ''pleeha gulma'' in the ''madhya'' (central) region, ''chandravivardhaka gulma'' in the region of ''basti'' , and ''granthi gulma'' afflicts the region of ''nabhi''.<ref>Harita samhita gulma nidana</ref>

Line 539: Line 539:

Considering the various clinical features of ''gulma'' it can be said that the majority of ''gulmas'' are non-inflammatory and non-malignant intra-abdominal swellings. But some ''gulmas'' show indications of inflammatory swellings, some benign while some show the characteristics of malignant growths.

−

==== ''Vataja gulma'' ====

+

=== ''Vataja gulma'' ===

''Vataja gulma'' are mostly irregular, transitory swellings. These are accompanied with different intensities of colicky pain.

Line 545: Line 545:

Complications like inguinal swelling (''bradhna roga'') gurgling sound in the intestines (''antrakoojana''), fever/elevated temperature in the evenings, splenomegaly (''pleehavriddhi''), difficulty in breathing, bodyache (''angamarda''), and headache are commonly in the advanced stages of ''gulma''. The above clinical features can be seen in chronic intestinal obstruction, intestinal tuberculosis, pyloric stenosis and in mobile caecum. Intestinal tuberculosis is a chronic condition with common symptoms including transitory nodules of varying sizes occurring due to partial intestinal obstruction, often accompanied with gurgling sounds from the abdomen, poor appetite, and evening fevers, as seen in the advanced stages of ''vatika gulma''. Mobile upper abdominal lump, with nausea and breathing difficulty are the features present in the case of pyloric stenosis. In mobile caecum there is also chronic progressive pain in the right flank and in the lower abdomen.

−

==== ''Pittaja gulma'' ====

+

=== ''Pittaja gulma'' ===

They are painful abdominal lumps characterized with fever, sweating, thirst, burning sensations and burning eructations. These features are suggestive of inflammatory and suppurative changes in the intra-abdominal lump. In due course of time, ''pittaja gulma'' develops yellow discoloration of nail, eyes and skin, fever, and vertigo as an added complication. These features can be seen in obstructive biliary tract.

−

==== ''Kaphaja gulma'' ====

+

=== ''Kaphaja gulma'' ===

These are fixed, solid abdominal lumps associated with heaviness, vomiting, mild pain and poor appetite. Further, if the exposure to etiological factors is continued, the patient may develop cough, breathing difficulty and ''rajayakshma'' (tuberculosis) etc. Such swellings can be compared with solid tumors of the abdomen which may or may not be associated with obstructive features of the gastrointestinal tract.

−

==== ''Sannipataja gulma'' ====

+

=== ''Sannipataja gulma'' ===

These swellings are progressively increasing in size, fixed, deep rooted, covered with prominent veins, bulged out, and associated with weakness, nausea, vomiting, fever and thirst. Such features can be seen in malignant abdominal tumors.

−

==== ''Raktaja gulma'' ====

+

=== ''Raktaja gulma'' ===

These exhibit symptoms similar to those of pregnancy, so it is essential to differentiate them from the point of view of treatment:

Line 586: Line 586:

*''Raktaja gulma'' features are found in hydatidiform mole and chorio-carcinoma.
