<div style="text-align:justify;">
The diseases presenting with cardinal symptom of generalized enlargement of abdomen is regarded as ''udara roga''. Emaciation, loss of appetite, pedal edema, inability to perform any physical activity are its other characteristic features. Extreme impairment of ''agni'' (digestion and metabolism) is the basic pathology of ''udara roga'' in general, which is regarded as one among the ''mahagada'' (major illness). It is classified into eight types viz. four types of ''doshaja udara roga'' (''vataja, pittaja, kaphaja'' and ''sannipataja''), ''plihodara'' (splenomegaly), ''kshatodara/chhidrodara'' (abdominal enlargement due to intestinal perforation), ''baddhagudodara'' (enlargement of abdomen due to gastrointestinal obstruction) and ''jalodara/udakodara'' (ascites). ''Yakritodara'' (hepatomegaly) is also a distinct type of ''udara roga'' but incorporated in the ''plihodara'' since the etiology and treatment of these two conditions are similar.

Generalized enlargement of the abdomen is ''udara roga'' and due to similarity of this symptom i.e. bulging (''utsedha''), this chapter follows the chapter on ''shvayathu'' (edema). Out of eight types of ''udara roga'' viz. ''[[vata]]ja, [[pitta]]ja, [[kapha]]ja'' and ''sannipataja'' are regarded as ''dosha'' dominant ''udara roga''. In contrast to this ''plihodara'' (splenomegaly), ''baddhodara'' (enlargement of abdomen due to gastrointestinal obstruction), ''kshatodara'' (abdominal enlargement due to intestinal perforation) and ''jalodara'' (enlargement of abdomen due to collection of fluid) are regarded as ''[[dushya]]'' dominant ''udara roga''. Again, ''baddhodara'' and ''chhidrodara'' are considered as ''agantuja'' (exogenous disease) and the remaining six types of ''udara roga'' are enlisted as ''nija'' (endogenous disease). Vitiation of morbid ''[[dosha]]'' obstructing the channels in the abdomen and leading to fluid accumulation are the predominant features of pathogenesis of ''udara roga''. Various purification treatments including therapeutic purgation, enema and surgical intervention to remove excess fluid are described in the chapter. The medications to pacify morbid ''[[dosha]]'' with strict dietary guidelines are treatment measures of ''udara roga''.

Abnormalities of ''jatharagni'' (digestive power) leads to the morbid accumulation of the ''mala'' (''dosha'' and bodily wastes) and in turn tend to cause multiple diseases and particularly ''udara roga''. In the state of impaired ''jatharagni'' consumption of unhealthy foods further leads to indigestion and eventually causes accumulation of morbid substances. Thus formed morbidity afflicts the functioning of ''prana vata, agni'' as well as ''apana vata'' which in turn obliterates the channels tending upwards and downwards. Due to this obliteration of channels, finally the morbid ''dosha'' tend to divulge and penetrate the space between the skin and flesh and gets accumulated there. This accumulation leads severe distention of the abdomen and causes serious disease ''udara roga''. Hereafter etiology and clinical symptoms of the same have been narrated [9-11]

Due to the etiological factors ''vata'' gets aggravated which assumes abnormal course and reaches the ''kukshi'' (lower abdomen), ''hridaya'' (chest), ''basti'' (pelvis) and ''gudamarga'' (rectum). Again the morbid ''vata'' further impairs the ''agni'' (digestive enzymes) and draws out the ''kapha''. Thus morbid ''kapha'' in turn obstructs the morbid ''vata''. Eventually the obstructed ''vata'' gets diverged in to the space between the skin and visceral tissues in the abdomen leading to distension of the abdomen and ''udara roga'' [23-24]

Contaminated food causes perforation of the intestines, which undergoes suppuration. Or else the suppuration of the intestines may happen due to yawing or excessive food which in turn leads to perforation. Perforation of the intestines further causes leaking out of the chyle from the intestines, which tends to move into the dependent parts of the abdomen filling the intestinal and rectal parts. Eventually the accumulation of the fluids in the lower abdomen manifests in ''chhidrodara'' [43].

If left untreated, the morbid ''dosha'' gets displaced and liquefied, moistens the joints as well as body channels, obstructs the external channels and thus mobilizes the fluid into the abdomen.

On appearance of the fluid the patient may suffer several complications that include vomiting, diarrhea, asthma, excessive thirst, breathlessness, cough, hiccough, debility, pain in the sides of the abdomen, tastelessness in mouth, hoarseness of voice and retention of urine and in this state it is incurable [48-49].

After a fortnight the ''baddhodara'' (enlargement of abdomen due to gastrointestinal obstruction) and ''udara'' that presents with accumulation of fluid are incurable. Mostly ''chhidrodara'' (enlargement of abdomen due to intestinal perforation) is fatal. The treatment should be avoided in patients of ''udara'' presenting with peri-orbital edema, distorted genitalia, moistening and thinning of the skin, severe reduction in the physical strength, severe depletion in the blood, severe wasting of the body flesh and severe impairment in the ''agni''.

Patient of ''vatodara'' who is physically strong should be initially treated with unctuous medications. Then after the ''[[snehana]]'' is completed, ''abhyanga'' (unctuous massage) and ''sweda'' (sudation) is done. Then the ''sneha [[virechana]]'' (purgation with unctuous purgatives) should be given. After elimination of ''[[dosha]]'' with ''[[shodhana]]'' (purification procedure) the abdomen should be tightly bandaged so that no space is left in the abdomen for the morbid ''[[vata]]'' to cause distension of the abdomen again [59-60].

Patient of ''vatodara'' who is physically strong should be initially treated with unctuous medications. Then after the ''snehana'' is completed, ''abhyanga'' (unctuous massage) and ''sweda'' (sudation) is done. Then the ''sneha virechana'' (purgation with unctuous purgatives) should be given. After elimination of ''dosha'' with ''shodhana'' (purification procedure) the abdomen should be tightly bandaged so that no space is left in the abdomen for the morbid ''vata'' to cause distension of the abdomen again [59-60].

''Udara'' is caused due to the obliteration of the body channels leading to accumulation of morbid ''[[dosha]]''. Hence ''udara'' should be treated by regular ''[[virechana]]'' (therapeutic purgation). After the purgation, with an intention to improve the physical strength and to relieve the strain of purgation, the patient should be given milk. Gradually as the patient regains strength by the intake of milk, his functioning of the ''agni'' should be improved by giving ''yusha'' (cereal soup) or meat soup added with little salt [61-62].

Predominance of ''kapha'' is judged by the symptoms like heaviness, lack of taste in the mouth and hardness of the abdomen. Presence of symptoms indicative of morbidity of ''rakta'' as mentioned in [[Vidhishonitiya Adhyaya]] point towards the dominance of morbid ''rakta'' in the pathogenesis of ''plihodara''. Hence, ''plihodara'' should be treated according to the dominance of ''dosha'' involved [75-76].

''Plihodara'' with dominance of ''pitta'' is treated by oral administration of ghee medicated with ''jivaniya'' herbs (''Jeevaka'' (Malaxis acuminta), ''rishbhaka'' (Microstylis muscifera), ''meda'' (Polygonatum verticillatum), ''mahameda'' (Polygonatum cirrhifolium), ''kakoli'' (Roscoea procera), ''kshirakakoli'' (Lilium polphyllum), ''riddhi'' (Habenaria edgeworthii), ''vriddhi'' (Habenaria intermedia), ''kshara'' ''basti'' (decoction enema consisting of alkali obtained from ash of herbs), ''raktavaseka'' (blood letting), ''shodhana'' (purification measures) and oral intake of milk. Patient is asked to take ''yusha'' (cereal soup) or meat soup processed with ''dipaniya'' (herbs augmenting the digestive power) drugs and light food. Since the etiology and symptomatology of ''plihodara'' (splenomegaly) and ''yakritodara'' (hepatomegaly) are same, so all the treatment mentioned for ''plihodara'' should be adopted in ''yakritodara'' [87-88].

Patient suffering from ''baddhodara'' (enlargement of abdomen due to gastrointestinal obstruction) should be initially treated by sudation followed by ''niruha basti'' (decoction enema) consisting of potent medicines, cow’s urine, ''saindhava'' (rock salt) and oil. After ''niruha basti'' (decoction enema), oil processed with same drugs should be given in the form of ''anuvasana basti'' (unctuous enema). Food that induces laxation should be given. Strong purgation is also indicated in the ''baddhodara''. All measures that cure ''udavarta'' as well as morbidity of ''vata'' should be done in ''baddhodara'' [89-90].

The powder is prepared from each one ''karsha'' (12g) each powder of root of ''patola'' (Trichosanthes dioica), ''rajani'' (Curcuma longa), ''vidanga'' (Embelia ribes.), barks of ''haritaki'' (Terminalia chebula), ''vibhitaki'' (Terminalia belerica) and ''amalaki'' (Emblica officinalis), two ''karsha'' (24g) of ''kampilla'' (Mallotus philippinensis), three ''karsha'' (36g) of ''nilini'' (Indigofera tinctoria) and four ''karsha'' (48g) of ''trivrita'' (Operculina turpethum). This powder is orally administered in a dose of one ''pala'' (48g) along with cow’s urine to induce purgation. After the purgation, the patient is advised to have light food consisting of meat soup of dry land animals. Or else, after the intake of ''manda'' (gruel water) and ''peya'' (liquid rice gruel), the patient is given milk processed with ''pippali'' (Piper longum), ''shunthi'' (Zingiber officinale) and ''maricha'' (Piper nigrum) for six days. The repeated administration of this regimen cures all the types of ''udara'' including the stage of ''jatodaka'' (enlargement of abdomen with fluid accumulation), jaundice, anemia and ''anasaraka''. This powder named as ''patoladi churna'' is well appreciated for the cure of ''udara'' (enlargement of abdomen) [119-123]

Take one part each of ''yavani'' (Trachyspermum ammi), ''hapusha'' (Juniperus communis), ''dhanyaka'' (Coriandrum sativum), ''haritaki'' (Terminalia chebula Retz), ''vibhitaki'' (Terminalia belerica), ''amalaki'' (Emblica officinalis), ''upakunchika'' (Nigella sativa), ''kaavi'' (Apium leptophyllum), root of ''pippali'' (Piper longum), ''ajagandha'' (Withania somnifera), ''shati'' (Hedychium spicatum), ''vacha'' (Acorus calamus), ''shatahva'' (Anethum sowa), ''jiraka'' (Cuminum cyminum), ''pippali'' (Piper longum), ''shunthi'' (Zingiber officinale), ''maricha'' (Piper nigrum), ''svarnakshiri'' (Argemone mexicana), ''chitraka'' (Plumbago zeylanica), ''sarjakshara'' (Sodii carbonas impura), ''yava kshara'' (alkali from awns of barley), ''pushkaramula'' (Inula racemosa), ''kushtha'' (Saussurea lappa), rock salt (saindhava), ''sauvarchala lavana'' (Unaqua sodium chloride), ''vida lavana'' (ammonium salt; salt obtained from animal’s excreta-feces/ urine), ''samudra lavana'' (Sodi muris), ''audbida lavana'' (salt obtained from earth) and ''vidanga'' (Embelia ribes). To this, three parts of ''danti'' (Baliospermum montanum), two parts of  ''trivrita'' (Operculina turpethum), two parts of ''vishala'' (Citrulus colocynthis) and four parts of ''satala'' (Euphorbia tirucalli) are added and powdered. This powder is known as ''narayana churna'' and is effective in curing horde of diseases. Quite similar to the Lord Vishnu killing the demon; this ''churna'' on consumption kills the diseases. Patient suffering from ''udara roga'' should take this powder with butter milk. The patients suffering from ''gulma'' (abdominal lump) should be prescribed with decoction of ''badara'' (Ziziphus zizyphus). In case of ''anaddha vata'' (obstructed ''vata'' in the abdomen) this ''narayana churna'' should be given with ''sura'' (alcoholic preparation made by fermenting a mixture of water, flour of rice, jaggery). ''Vata roga'' is treated by administering this powder with ''prasanna'' (supernatant clear portion of alcoholic preparation; upper portion of ''madya''). Constipation is treated by giving this ''churna'' with ''dadhi manda'' (watery portion of curds). ''Arsha'' (piles) is treated by administering this powder with juice of ''dadima'' (Punica granatum). ''Parikartka'' (cutting pain in the anal region) may be treated by giving this medicine with ''vrikshamla'' (Garcinia indica). This powder, if given with lukewarm water cures  indigestion. Also this powder is orally administered with relevant ''anupana'' (liquid adjunct) after oral oleation measure and to induce ''virechana'' (therapeutic purgation) in patients suffering from diseases like bhagandara (fistula in ano), anaemia, dyspnea, cough, throat irritation, cardiac disease, ''grahanidosha'' (malabsorption), ''kushtha'' (obstinate skin diseases), impaired appetite, fever, venomous bite, toxic tubers, ''garavisha'' (mild poisoning) and ''kritrima visha'' (poisoning with synthesized poison)[125-132]

Curd is prepared from the mixture of one ''drona'' (12228g) of milk and half ''prastha'' (384g) of ''snuhi kshira'' (latex of Euphorbia neriifolia). This curd is churned properly to extract the butter. Thus obtained butter is boiled to get the ghee. Further this ghee is processed with ''trivrita'' (Operculina turpethum) to get the ''snuhi kshira ghrita''. Alternatively one can take one ''prastha'' (768g) of cow’s ghee, mixed with eight ''prastha'' (6144g) of milk; and to this paste prepared from one ''pala'' (48g) of ''snuhi kshira'' (latex of Euphorbia neriifolia) and eight ''pala'' (384g) of ''trivrita'' (Operculina turpethum) is added. This is then processed to get the medicated ghee. This ''snuhi kshira ghrita'' is effective in alleviating the ''gulma'' (abdominal lump), ''garadosha'' (poison synthesized by combination of non toxic substances) and all types of ''udara''. Thus is described ''snuhi kshira ghrita'' [138-140].

''Virechana karma'' (therapeutic purgation) should be undertaken after the digestion of the orally administrated medicated ghee. After the ''virechana'', the patient is advised to take decoction of ''nagaraa'' (Zingiber officinale). Then the patient is given ''peya'' (liquid rice gruel) and ''yusha'' (cereal soup) prepared of ''kulattha'' (Vigna unquiculata). If the patient suffers from the state of dryness in his body then he should be given rice with milk for three days. On regaining the physical strength the patient should be repeatedly and alternatively treated with medicated ghee and nourishing diet. In this way ''gulma'' (abdominal lump), ''garavisha'' (poison synthesized by combination of nontoxic substances) and ''udara'' (enlargement of abdomen tending ascites) should be treated [142-144].

With the due consideration of morbid ''[[dosha]]'', the physician should prescribe ''pippalyadi lavana'' for liquefying the ''[[kapha]]''. The ingredients of ''pippalyadi lavana'' are ''pippali'' (Piper longum), ''tilvaka'' (Symplocos cochinchinensis/Jatropha curcas), ''hingu'' (Ferula foetida), ''nagaraa'' (Zingiber officinale), ''hastipippali'' (Scindapsus officinalis), ''bhallataka'' (Semecarpus anacardium), fruits of ''shigru'' (Moringa oleifera), ''haritaki'' (Terminalia chebula), ''vibhitaki'' (Terminalia belerica), ''amalaki'' (Emblica officinalis), ''katukarohini'' (Picrorhiza kurroa Royle), ''devadaru'' (Cedrus deodara), ''haridra'' (Curcuma longa), ''daruharidra'' (Berberis aristata), ''sarala'' (Pinus roxburghii), ''ativisha'' (Aconitum heterophyllum), ''vacha'' (Acorus calamus), ''kushtha'' (Saussurea lappa), ''musta'' (Cyperus rotundus), ''sauvarchala lavana'' (unaqua sodium chloride), ''vida lavana'' (ammonium salt), ''audbida lavana'' (salt obtained from earth), rock salt (''saindhava'') and ''samudra lavana'' (Sodi muris). The course powder of these drugs is added with curd/yogurt, cow’s ghee, ''vasa'' (animal fat), ''majja'' (bone marrow) and ''taila'' (oil extracted from seeds of Sesamum indicum) and then is burnt to get the ''kshara'' (alkali obtained from ash of herbs). This ''kshara'' is orally administered after the meals in a dose of one ''karsha'' (12g). The ''anupana'' (adjunct) for it is any one of madirā (alcoholic beverage), dadhimanda (liquid portion of curds), warm water, arishta (fermented decoctions), surā (alcoholic preparation made by fermenting a mixture of water, flour of rice, jaggery) and ''asava'' (fermented infusions). This medication effectively cures ''hridroga'' (cardiac disease), ''anasaraka, gulma'' (abdominal lump), ''plihodara'' (splenomegaly), ''arshas'' (piles), ''udara roga, visuchika'' (illness characterized by vomiting and diarrhea), ''udavarta'' (reversed course of ''[[vata]]'' in the abdomen) and ''vatashtila'' (mass obliterating the urinary and rectal passage)[157-161]. </div>

The ingredients of ''pippalyadi lavana'' are ''pippali'' (Piper longum), ''tilvaka'' (Symplocos cochinchinensis/Jatropha curcas), ''hingu'' (Ferula foetida), ''nagaraa'' (Zingiber officinale), ''hastipippali'' (Scindapsus officinalis), ''bhallataka'' (Semecarpus anacardium), fruits of ''shigru'' (Moringa oleifera), ''haritaki'' (Terminalia chebula), ''vibhitaki'' (Terminalia belerica), ''amalaki'' (Emblica officinalis), ''katukarohini'' (Picrorhiza kurroa Royle), ''devadaru'' (Cedrus deodara), ''haridra'' (Curcuma longa), ''daruharidra'' (Berberis aristata), ''sarala'' (Pinus roxburghii), ''ativisha'' (Aconitum heterophyllum), ''vacha'' (Acorus calamus), ''kushtha'' (Saussurea lappa), ''musta'' (Cyperus rotundus), ''sauvarchala lavana'' (unaqua sodium chloride), ''vida lavana'' (ammonium salt), ''audbida lavana'' (salt obtained from earth), rock salt (''saindhava'') and ''samudra lavana'' (Sodi muris). The course powder of these drugs is added with curd/yogurt, cow’s ghee, ''vasa'' (animal fat), ''majja'' (bone marrow) and ''taila'' (oil extracted from seeds of Sesamum indicum) and then is burnt to get the ''kshara'' (alkali obtained from ash of herbs). This ''kshara'' is orally administered after the meals in a dose of one ''karsha'' (12g). The ''anupana'' (adjunct) for it is any one of madirā (alcoholic beverage), dadhimanda (liquid portion of curds), warm water, arishta (fermented decoctions), surā (alcoholic preparation made by fermenting a mixture of water, flour of rice, jaggery) and ''asava'' (fermented infusions). This medication effectively cures ''hridroga'' (cardiac disease), ''anasaraka, gulma'' (abdominal lump), ''plihodara'' (splenomegaly), ''arshas'' (piles), ''udara roga, visuchika'' (illness characterized by vomiting and diarrhea), ''udavarta'' (reversed course of ''vata'' in the abdomen) and ''vatashtila'' (mass obliterating the urinary and rectal passage)[157-161].

If patient suffering from ''udara'' does not respond to usual treatment due to morbidity of three ''dosha'', then the physician should inform the critical state to the relative of the patient and start treating with venom of cobra after obtaining consent from the patients friends, spouse, brahmins, king as well as teacher. The physician should win the confidence of these people after clearly stating that the patient will not survive if the treatment with venom is not made, and patient may survive if this treatment is done. After obtaining the consent, the physician should mix the venom in food and drink and administer it to the patient.

Alternatively the angry serpent is made to release the venom while biting the fruit. Patient is allowed to consume this venomous fruit after proper analysis by the physician. This treatment immediately liquefies the infiltrating displaced morbid ''dosha'' by virtue of its ''pramathi'' (clearing the channels adhered with ''dosha'') property and eliminates from the body. Once the ''dosha'' is cleared from the body by the action of venom patient is treated with cold water ''parishechana'' (pouring of medicated liquids on body parts). Depending upon the physical strength, the patient is allowed to drink milk or yavāgu (rice gruel). The food prepared from leafy vegetables that include ''trivrita'' (Operculina turpethum), ''mandukaparni'' (Centella asiatica), ''yava''  (Hordeum vulgare), ''vastuka'' (Chenopodium murale) and ''kalashaka'' (Corchorus capsularis) processed with juice of same leafy vegetables should be given to the patient but without adding ''amla'' (sour), ''lavana'' (salty) and ''sneha'' (unctuous substance). This food may be served with or without steaming and during this food rice is avoided. This regimen should be continued for one month. During this course if the patient is thirsty then the juice extracted from these leafy vegetables should be given to the patient. By this method once in one month all the morbid ''dosha'' is cleared from the body and the patient is advised to drink milk to improve the physical strength [175-184]

Surgical intervention should be done by an expert surgeon. A proper incision is made on the left side of the abdomen about fpur figure (7.8cm) below the umbilicus by an efficient surgeon. From this incision intestinal loops are drawn out and carefully looked for foreign substances causing ''chidrodara'' or ''baddhodara''. Ghee is applied on the affected loop of the intestines. Then the foreign substances like hair and others are then removed from the intestinal loop. Any torsion or intussusception of the loops of intestines if present is opened. By the surgical procedure if large rend happens in the intestines then edges of rend is anchored by making the small ants to bite and hold the edges together. Once the ants properly anchor the opposing edges of rend, the body of the ants is separated and thrown. Intestinal loops are then properly inserted into the abdomen and the incised area is sutured. Then wound management is done [184-188].

In all conditions of ''udara'' with accumulation of fluid, the fluid should be aspirated by inserting a cannula into the abdomen just below the umbilicus on the left side. While aspirating, compress the abdomen and after the aspiration the abdomen is tightly wrapped with a cloth. This wrapping should also be done in cases where reduction of the abdomen is achieved by other methods like ''niruha [[basti]]'' (decoction enema) and ''[[virechana]]'' (therapeutic purgation). After the removal of the fluid patient is treated with ''[[langhana]]'' (reducing regimen) and is given ''peya'' (liquid rice gruel) with little or no addition of ''sneha'' (dietary fat) and salt. After this the patient is kept on only milk diet for six months. For another three months patient is allowed to take ''peya'' (liquid rice gruel) along with milk. Following this for another three months the patients is given rice prepared with shyāmaka (Echinochloa frumentacea) or ''koradusha'' (Paspalum scorbiculatum) added with milk. This light diet should be without salt altogether. By managing the patient in this manner for one year one can get cured of ''jalodara'' [189-192]

Impairment of ''jatharagni'' leads to morbidity of all the three ''dosha''. ''Mala'' in the present context refers to morbid ''vata'', ''pitta'' and ''kapha'', the metabolic bi-products formed during ''dhatu'' metabolism i.e. during tissue formation as well as the wastes like excreta<ref>Agnivesha.

Impairment of ''agni'' leads to excess formation of metabolic bi products (''mala'') and less formation of quality products. This leads to accumulation of the waste at micro-cellular circulation, which causes multiple diseases. More specifically, this accumulation of wastes at various visceral organs like liver, spleen etc. leads to distension of abdomen<ref>Agnivesha.

The Sanskrit term ''chyuta'' refers to the act to descend and the ''vriddhi'' implies abdominal enlargement. Descent of the spleen is said to happen due to the violent jerk that happens during different physical activities. Descended spleen causes abdominal enlargement. Further this is of four types based on causative morbidity of ''dosha'' as ''vataja, pittaja, kaphaja'' and ''sannipataja''. In Sanskrit, the word ''Achyuta'' refers to lack of downward displacement. ''Vriddhi'' refers to the abdominal enlargement. Put together, the word ''achyuta plihavriddhi'' refers to the abdominal enlargement due to splenic causes without its descending.

Acute or chronic intestinal obstruction due to variety of causes is comparable to ''baddhodara'' (enlargement of abdomen due to gastrointestinal obstruction). Sudden development of intestinal obstruction in an otherwise healthy person may be due to strangulation, paralytic ileus, and intussusception. Even the simple of malignant stricture of the colon, diverticulitis and pressure by a tumor can cause obstruction. Impaction of masses of roundworms, too much cellulose like orange peel, hair balls and other foreign substances can also cause intestinal obstruction.

Clinical presentations include absolute constipation, no passing of the flatus. This is true even after repeated enemata. Abdominal pain initially referred to umbilicus. Eventually the abdominal pain turns into colicky in nature due to strong peristalsis trying to overcome the obstruction. Tenderness is little. Since the beginning the patient will have projectile vomiting. Vomitus consists of food particles initially and then bile follows and finally stercoraceous with fecal odor. Abdominal distention is noticed, more in the flanks in colonic obstruction and will be seen in the central abdomen if, the obstruction is in the intestines. Peristalsis may be visible. Gradually the patient develops the constitutional symptoms like prostration, thready rapid pulse. Urine is diminished. Obstruction located in proximal intestines may cause tetany [39-41].
 
Clinical presentations include absolute constipation, no passing of the flatus. This is true even after repeated enemata. Abdominal pain initially referred to umbilicus. Eventually the abdominal pain turns into colicky in nature due to strong peristalsis trying to overcome the obstruction. Tenderness is little. Since the beginning the patient will have projectile vomiting. Vomitus consists of food particles initially and then bile follows and finally stercoraceous with fecal odor. Abdominal distention is noticed, more in the flanks in colonic obstruction and will be seen in the central abdomen if, the obstruction is in the intestines. Peristalsis may be visible.

=== ''Kshatodara'' ===
  
The word ''kshatodara'' is formed by the component terms ''kshata'' and ''udara''. The Sanskrit term ''kshata'' refers to the perforation caused by substances like sand particles. ''Kshatodara'' is caused by perforation of the intestines due entangling of the foreign substances that are consumed along with the food. Thus, the distension of the abdomen caused by the perforation of the intestines is termed as ''kshatodara''<ref>Agnivesha. Charaka Samhita, elaborated by Charaka & Dridabala with Ayurveda Deepika commentary by Chakrapani Datta, Vaidya Jadavaji Trikamji ed., 2009 Edition, Varanasi, Chaukhambha Orientalia, Pp 738, Pg no 493</ref>.

=== ''Parisravi udara'' ===
  
 
''Parisravi'' and ''udara'' are the component terms of ''parisraavi udara''. ''Parisraavi'' is again formed by the verb ''sraai'' with the addition of the prefix ''pari''. The prefix ''pari'' gives the meaning of extensive from all the sides. The verb ''sraavi'' refers to the secretion. Thus the term ''parisraavi'' refers to the pathology of morbid flow or extensive secretion from all sides.

Pathologically this illness is characterized by intestinal contents oozing into the abdomen and the abdominal contents in turn oozing into the rectum. Hence the illness is called as ''parisraavi udara''<ref>Sushruta, Sushruta samhita, with nibandha sangraha commentary of dhallahan & Nyayachandrika commentary of of gayadasa, yadavji trikamji , nirnaya sagar press, 1915, P713, Pgno 236</ref>.

The component terms ''chhidra'' and ''udara'' together forms ''chhidrodara''. '''Chhidra''' refers to perforation and ''udara'' refers to distension of the abdomen. Thus, the illness characterized by the perforation of the intestines is known as ''chhidrodara''<ref>Tadataka Yamada, textbook of gastroenterology, 5th edition, volume 1, 2009 Blackwell Publishing.

The foreign substances consumed with the food may traverse along the length of intestines without hurting it. At times these foreign substances may traverse across the length and hurt the intestines leading to perforation. Thus, if the foreign substances traverse along the length of the intestines without hurting, then the patient do not suffer from the ''chhidrodara''. Foreign substances consumed along with food causes perforation of the intestines. Even consumption of excessive food and yawing with excessive stretching of the body may lead to perforation. The intestines contain liquid chyle consisting of both nutrients and waste. This liquid leaks out of the intestines through the rent caused by the perforation into the space between the abdominal skin and flesh. Note that, fluids also leak into the abdomen in ''doshaja udara'' but not through the rent, but by the method of diffusion. The fluid leaked out of the intestines again re-enters into the rectum. Over filled fluid with the space between the skin and viscera may re-enter into the intestines through the end of perforation. Or else the fluid may seep into the rectum. Thus, the rectum gets filled with the undigested food consisting of nutrients and waste which is defecated out<ref>Raja radha kanta deva, Shabdakalpadruma, part 2 chaukhambha Sanskrit siries, varanasi 3rd edition 1967,  P555; Pg no 226</ref>.

The accumulation of the chyle within the abdomen that does not diffuse into the rectum causes ''jalodara''. This ''jalodara'' of ''chhidrodara'' is different from the ''jalodara''. ''Jalodara'' as type of ''udara'' is caused by distinct causes as an independent disease and the fluid accumulates by the process of diffusion.

The etiopathogenesis of ''chhidrodara'' matches with that of secondary peritonitis. Perforation with in any part of gastrointestinal tract leading to spillage of luminal contents into the peritoneal cavity causes peritonitis and is referred as secondary peritonitis. Perforation can happen in conditions like appendicitis, diverticulitis, peptic ulcer, and trauma. More to add hollow organs are more susceptible to athletic injury when they are full of waste and food products leading to peritonitis. The common pathogens causing such peritonitis include Escherichia coli, Streptococcus faecalis, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Klebsiella mirabilis, Bacteroides fragilis, Clostridium species, and anaerobic streptococci. Also, aseptic peritonitis is possible if sterile bile, digestive juice leak into the peritoneal cavity. In this condition infection is possible later during the course of the illness.

Water intoxication and edema are the two distinct clinical implications of over hydration. Excessive intake of plain water without adequate solutes causes abnormal increase in extracellular fluid with deficient sodium. This in turn causes movement of fluid into the cell to maintain the salt balance. Thus, resulting in cellular edema which in turn causes the clinical manifestation of water intoxication and it is a fatal condition. Contrary to this over hydration with adequate intake of sodium leads to increase in the fluid within the interstitial compartment due to excess of isotonic volume excess. The water does not diffuse into the cells as the solutes hold the water in the interstitial fluid compartment. Thus this will result in the edema. This edema is due to over hydration and is comparable to ''jalodara''.

Over hydration is observed in different clinical situations. As fluid supplementation is recommended in patients suffering from gastroenteritis, an excess of fluid intake may lead to over hydration. Identical to this, excessive fluid intake after any of the purification procedure may have similar sequel. Psychogenic polydipsia characterized by compulsive water drinking may sometimes lead to over hydration. This is also true in mentally challenged children. Individuals are likely to take large amount of fluids following long bouts of intensive exercise and will have the similar consequences of over hydration. Marathon runners are susceptible to excessive fluid intake while running and may prove incriminatory. Any physical activity leading to profuse sweating like working in extreme heat or humidity; may be followed by intake of excessive fluid to replace the loss.

All types of ''udara'' are characterized by distension of the abdomen. Accumulation of the fluid in the abdomen is the common pathology in these conditions. But in the initial phases the collection of the fluid in the abdomen is due to the diffusion of chyle. This chyle is little as the impairment of ''agni'' is less severe. Also the little accumulation of the fluid is not detected clinically. In this state, in the absence of immediate effective treatment; morbid ''dosha'' tend to obliterate the external body channels that maintain the homeostasis of fluid in the body. The chyle is more liquefied. And more and more fluid is poured into the abdomen causing huge accumulation of the fluid in the abdomen. At this stage, accumulation of the fluid is clinically detected.  Accordingly, the ''udara roga'' is distinguished into three stages. Identification of these stages is important and immediate energetic treatment should be planned lest all ''udara'' finally land in ''jalodara''. Condition of ''ajatodaka, piccha'' and ''jatodaka'' are the three stages of ''udara'' .

The course of primary as well as secondary peritonitis exhibits a typical progression. Initially the peritoneum gets inflamed and is characterized by abdominal pain and associated symptoms. This inflammation of the peritoneum is supervened by paralytic ileus. This paralytic ileus is responsible for the diminishing bowel sounds, gaseous distention of the abdomen and tympanic percussion note. This stage of peritonitis is the ''ajatodakavastha'' of ''udara''.

Abstract

The diseases presenting with cardinal symptom of generalized enlargement of abdomen is regarded as udara roga. Emaciation, loss of appetite, pedal edema, inability to perform any physical activity are its other characteristic features. Extreme impairment of agni (digestion and metabolism) is the basic pathology of udara roga in general, which is regarded as one among the mahagada (major illness). It is classified into eight types viz. four types of doshaja udara roga (vataja, pittaja, kaphaja and sannipataja), plihodara (splenomegaly), kshatodara/chhidrodara (abdominal enlargement due to intestinal perforation), baddhagudodara (enlargement of abdomen due to gastrointestinal obstruction) and jalodara/udakodara (ascites). Yakritodara (hepatomegaly) is also a distinct type of udara roga but incorporated in the plihodara since the etiology and treatment of these two conditions are similar.
Each type of udara roga has distinct etiology, pathology and symptomatology. Vataja, pittaja, kaphaja and sannipataja udara roga are comparable to the primary peritonitis based on the similarity of the symptoms. Plihodara (enlargement of the spleen) can be compared by the description of splenomegaly for different reasons. Symptoms of yakritodara resembles with that of hepatomegaly of varied pathology. Intestinal obstruction for different reasons causes baddhagudodara (enlargement of abdomen due to gastrointestinal obstruction). Intestinal perforation is explained under the name of chhidrodara/kshatodara (abdominal enlargement due to intestinal perforation). Udara roga in general develops in three distinct stages. Conditions of ajatodaka is initial phase of generalized enlargement of abdomen without fluid accumulation, pichcha is generalized enlargement of abdominal distention due to liquefying state of dosha and jatodaka is generalized enlargement of abdomen with fluid accumulation. All the types of udara roga end up in jalodara (enlargement of abdomen due to collection of fluid) in the terminal phases. Among the different types of udara roga, the later one in the list is more difficult to cure than its previous one. Presence of complication in udara roga is indicative of incurability. Virechana (therapeutic purgation), niruha basti (decoction enema), anuvasana basti (unctuous enema), intake of milk and buttermilk and surgical interventions (tapping) form the crux of treatment of udara roga.

Introduction

Generalized enlargement of the abdomen is udara roga and due to similarity of this symptom i.e. bulging (utsedha), this chapter follows the chapter on shvayathu (edema). Out of eight types of udara roga viz. vataja, pittaja, kaphaja and sannipataja are regarded as dosha dominant udara roga. In contrast to this plihodara (splenomegaly), baddhodara (enlargement of abdomen due to gastrointestinal obstruction), kshatodara (abdominal enlargement due to intestinal perforation) and jalodara (enlargement of abdomen due to collection of fluid) are regarded as dushya dominant udara roga. Again, baddhodara and chhidrodara are considered as agantuja (exogenous disease) and the remaining six types of udara roga are enlisted as nija (endogenous disease). Vitiation of morbid dosha obstructing the channels in the abdomen and leading to fluid accumulation are the predominant features of pathogenesis of udara roga. Various purification treatments including therapeutic purgation, enema and surgical intervention to remove excess fluid are described in the chapter. The medications to pacify morbid dosha with strict dietary guidelines are treatment measures of udara roga.

Sage Punarvasu was residing in Mount Kailasa (which is similar to Nandana Vana) and was accompanied with Siddha (a group of highly skilled individuals possessing eight supernatural faculties) and Vidhyadara (the possessor of knowledge of science/super human personality is termed Vidyadhara). In Mount Kailasa, Sage Punarvasu was seated like very embodiment of dharma (righteousness) and was engaged in practicing austerity. Sage Punarvasu is the foremost among those who are proficient in the knowledge of Ayurveda and involved in promulgating the science of medicine. Agnivesha spoke addressing to such self controlled great sage Punarvasu. [3-4]

Sage Agnivesha addressing Punarvasu, said “Oh Lord!” it is observed that the patient of udara suffers from dryness of the mouth, emaciation of body, distension of abdomen and flanks, impaired digestion, loss of physical strength, inability to consume food, inability to perform any physical activities and depression; such patients sooner or later die due to the illness in the absence of treatment just like an orphan. I wish to hear the proper description of this disease from my teacher Lord Punarvasu in regards to its etiology, the number, the premonitory symptoms, clinical presentation and treatment. [5-7]

Abnormalities of jatharagni (digestive power) leads to the morbid accumulation of the mala (dosha and bodily wastes) and in turn tend to cause multiple diseases and particularly udara roga. In the state of impaired jatharagni consumption of unhealthy foods further leads to indigestion and eventually causes accumulation of morbid substances. Thus formed morbidity afflicts the functioning of prana vata, agni as well as apana vata which in turn obliterates the channels tending upwards and downwards. Due to this obliteration of channels, finally the morbid dosha tend to divulge and penetrate the space between the skin and flesh and gets accumulated there. This accumulation leads severe distention of the abdomen and causes serious disease udara roga. Hereafter etiology and clinical symptoms of the same have been narrated. [9-11]

Three types of udara caused by each morbid dosha, one type of udara caused by morbidity of all three dosha, plihodara (splenomegaly), baddhodara (enlargement of abdomen due to gastrointestinal obstruction), kshatodara (abdominal enlargement due to intestinal perforation) and udakodara (enlargement of abdomen due to collection of fluid) are the eight types of udara. Listen to the characteristic symptoms each of these types of udara roga. [22].

Among the etiological factors of udara roga is intake of dry food articles, consumption of inadequate amount of food, exertion, suppression of naturally manifesting urges, abnormal upward course of vata and weight reducing activities like walking or lifting weight causes vatodara. [23]

Due to the etiological factors [vata]] gets aggravated which assumes abnormal course and reaches the kukshi (lower abdomen), hridaya (chest), basti (pelvis) and gudamarga (rectum). Again the morbid vata further impairs the agni (digestive enzymes) and draws out the kapha. Thus morbid kapha in turn obstructs the morbid vata. Eventually the obstructed vata gets diverged in to the space between the skin and visceral tissues in the abdomen leading to distension of the abdomen and udara roga. [23-24]

The symptoms of vatodara include distension of abdomen, edema of the hands, legs and scrotum, splitting type of pain in abdomen, undue increase and decrease of abdominal distension, abdominal pain, pain in the sides of the abdomen, abnormal upward course of vata within abdomen, body ache, pain in phalangeal joints, dry cough, emaciation, debility, lack of taste in mouth, indigestion, heaviness in the lower abdomen, obstructed flatus, constipation, retention of the urine, brown or reddish black discoloration of the nails, brown or reddish black discoloration of the conjunctiva, buccal mucosa, dermis, urine and fecal matter; abdominal wall possessing thin, blackish stretch lines and vessels, tympanic note on percussion similar to the sound produced on tapping air filled leather bag or bladder and upward, downward and lateral painful movement of vata with gurgling sound within the abdomen. [25]

Etiological factors of pittodara are excessive consumption of foods having pungent taste ans sour taste, salty foods, foods having ushna (hot) and tikshna (sharply acting) properties, exposure the heat of fire place, exposure to sunshine, consumption of foods that cause burning sensation whilst getting digested, pre-digestion meals and indigestion. [26]

Indulgence in the factors such as lack of physical exercise, day sleep, excessive consumption of sweet, greasy and slimy foods, curds, milk, liquids and meat of wet land animals causes kaphodara. [29]

Pathogenesis of kaphodara

The etiological factors lead to the morbidity of kapha which obstructs the body channels that include obliteration of the passage of vata. Thus obstructed vata expels the morbid kapha out of the intestines causing distension of the abdomen. [30]

The etiological factors such as person with impaired agni (digestive power) indulging in unhealthy food habits and consuming foods that are inadequately cooked, taking food articles having mutually contradictory properties, eating foods that are heavy for digestion, consumption of food adulterated with dust, hair, feces, urine, bone and nails which is offered by a wicked lady and slow poisoning by the intake of dushivisha (chronic poisoning) cause sannipatodara. [32]

The plihodara is caused by activities like travelling excessively in vibrating vehicle, heavy exercises that involve violent jerky movements of the body and are done immediately after the meals, excessive sex, lifting heavy objects, indulging in heavy walking, excessive vomiting and emaciation due to chronic illness [35].

Samprapti of plihodara

Afflicted by the jerky movements of the body etc, the spleen located in the left side(flank or left hypochondriac region) enlarges and descends to cause enlargement of the abdomen; or else, a variety of dietary factors leading to increment and morbidity of rasa, rakta etc. which in turn causes enlargement of the spleen. Enlarged spleen distends the abdomen causing plihodara [36].

Patient suffers from progressive enlargement of the spleen. Initially the enlarged spleen is palpable as a hard mass identical to the oval metal ball used by blacksmiths. The surface of the spleen appears smooth similar to the dorsum of the tortoise. If left untreated the enlarging spleen encroach the whole abdomen including the abode of agni [37].

The symptoms of plihodara include debility, lack of taste in mouth, indigestion, constipation, retention of urine, darkness in front of the eyes, excessive thirst, body ache, vomiting, transient loss of consciousness, tiredness in the body parts, cough, dyspnea, mild fever, flatulence, loss of appetite, emaciation, abnormal taste in the mouth, pain in joint of the digits, abdominal pain due to morbid vata, abnormal pinkish coloration of the abdomen, discoloration of the abdominal wall and the abdominal wall shows bluish greenish yellowish linear stretch marks.

In the similar manner the enlarged liver located at right flank(hypochondriac) region causes distention of the abdomen. As the etiology symptoms and treatment of enlarged liver is identical to the plihodara, yakritodara is included in the plihodara. This is regarded as plihodara [38].

Etiology of baddhodara

pakShmabAlaiH sahAnnena bhuktairbaddhAyane gude|
udAvartaistathA~arshobhirantrasammUrcchanena vA||39||

Baddhodara is caused by the obliteration of the passage of stools due to consumption of the food admixed with feathers of birds or human hair, udavarta (reversed course of vata in abdomen), due to arshas (ano-rectal mass lesion) and intussusception of the intestines [39].

Pathogenesis of baddhagudodara

Obliteration of the passage of colon leads to morbidity of apana vata which in turn impairs the functioning of the agni as well as obstructs the excretion of stools and obliterates the movement of pitta and kapha. Eventually the patient suffers from the baddhagudodara [40].

Contaminated food causes perforation of the intestines, which undergoes suppuration. Or else the suppuration of the intestines may happen due to yawing or excessive food which in turn leads to perforation. Perforation of the intestines further causes leaking out of the chyle from the intestines, which tends to move into the dependent parts of the abdomen filling the intestinal and rectal parts. Eventually the accumulation of the fluids in the lower abdomen manifests in chhidrodara [43].

The symptoms include distension of the abdomen mostly below the umbilicus due to accumulation of the fluids. Patient may suffer from a variety of symptoms according to the degree of morbidity of each dosha. Patient excretes reddish, bluish, yellowish, mucous mixed with foul smelling and unformed stools. Patient suffers from hiccough, cough, breathlessness, thirst, altered state of consciousness, tastelessness in mouth, indigestion and debility. These are indicative of chhidrodara [44].

Excessive consumption of water on occasions like oral medication with medicated ghee, impaired state of agni, debility and emaciation causes destruction of digestive power and vitiation of vata situated at kloma. [45].

These vitiated factors obliterate udaka-vaha-srotas. Thus obliterated kapha mixed water further increases the fluid contents which by disloging from its site and accumulating in abdomen produce jalodara [46].

Udara roga of recent origin having no complications and without signs of fluid accumulation should be immediately treated. If left untreated, the morbid dosha gets displaced and liquefied, moistens the joints as well as body channels, obstructs the external channels and thus mobilizes the fluid into the abdomen.

The accumulated fluid in the abdomen thus become turbid and leads to the symptoms like globular distension of the abdomen, subjective feeling of heaviness in the abdomen, still abdomen with absence of gurgling sound, dull note on percussion, soft abdomen on palpation, disappearance of stretch marks and distended veins spreading around the umbilicus.

This is followed by appearance of fluid in the abdomen. The symptoms include huge distension of abdomen, disappearance of the distended veins, distended abdomen producing dull note on percussion and cystic on palpation identical to the one seen in leather bag filled with water.

On appearance of the fluid the patient may suffer several complications that include vomiting, diarrhea, asthma, excessive thirst, breathlessness, cough, hiccough, debility, pain in the sides of the abdomen, tastelessness in mouth, hoarseness of voice and retention of urine and in this state it is incurable [48-49].

Among the list of vatodara, pittodara, kaphodara, plihodara, sannipatodara and jalodara (ascites); the later ones are more and more difficult to cure. After a fortnight the baddhodara (enlargement of abdomen due to gastrointestinal obstruction) and udara that presents with accumulation of fluid are incurable. Mostly chhidrodara (enlargement of abdomen due to intestinal perforation) is fatal. The treatment should be avoided in patients of udara presenting with peri-orbital edema, distorted genitalia, moistening and thinning of the skin, severe reduction in the physical strength, severe depletion in the blood, severe wasting of the body flesh and severe impairment in the agni.

The development of symptoms like edema involving all vital parts, breathlessness, hiccough, tastelessness in the mouth, transient loss of consciousness, vomiting and diarrhea kills the patients of udara roga.

The udara is difficult to cure from the very onset itself but if the patient is physically strong, in state of ajatodaka (initial phase of distension of abdomen with slight fluid accumulation) and the udara of recent onset can be managed only with energetic treatment [50-54].

State of ajatodaka (initial phase of distension of abdomen without fluid accumulation) of the udara is presents with symptoms such as pink coloration of distended abdomen, increased gurgling sound, comparatively less heaviness of the abdomen, persistent gurgling sound, abdomen covered with network of distended veins, the flatus frequently generates urges to pass with distention of the umbilical region and then fades away with of farting, pain in the cardiac region, umbilical region, groin, sacral region and anal part, passing of flatus with loud sound, less severe impairment of digestion, tastelessness in the mouth, reduced urination and constipation. This state of ajatodaka should be treated with the due consideration of degree of morbidity of dosha as well as time [55-58].

Patient of vatodara who is physically strong should be initially treated with unctuous medications. Then after the snehana is completed, abhyanga (unctuous massage) and sweda (sudation) is done. Then the sneha virechana (purgation with unctuous purgatives) should be given. After elimination of dosha with shodhana (purification procedure) the abdomen should be tightly bandaged so that no space is left in the abdomen for the morbid vata to cause distension of the abdomen again [59-60].

Udara is caused due to the obliteration of the body channels leading to accumulation of morbid dosha. Hence udara should be treated by regular virechana (therapeutic purgation). After the purgation, with an intention to improve the physical strength and to relieve the strain of purgation, the patient should be given milk. Gradually as the patient regains strength by the intake of milk, his functioning of the agni should be improved by giving yusha (cereal soup) or meat soup added with little salt [61-62].

Role of asthapana basti

The patient who is debilitated, aged, children, having delicate constitution, minimal morbidity of dosha and dominant vitiation of vata and unfit for virechana karma (therapeutic purgation) should be treated by palliative (shamana) measures. Shamana treatment comprises use of medicated ghee, meat soup, rice, oil massage and milk. Such patients may also be given anuvasana basti (oily enema).[66-67]

Treatment of pittodara

पित्तोदरे तु बलिनं पूर्वमेव विरेचयेत्|

pittōdarē tu balinaṁ pūrvamēva virēcayēt|

pittodare tu balinaM pUrvameva virecayet|

Physically strong patients suffering from pittodara should be treated by virechana karma (therapeutic purgation) at the outset [68].

If the patient of pittodara is physically weak then he should be treated by purification by adapting kshirabasti (decoction enema consisting of milk as predominant ingredient). By this treatment when the patient regains physical strength, and improved digestive power, once again the patient should be treated by virechana (therapeutic purgation) [68-69]

Again, if the dominance of kapha is present then in the above preparation cow’s urine may be added. If the dominance of vata is present, then in the above medicines for virechana (therapeutic purgation) medicated ghee prepared with bitter herbs should be given [69-70]

Association of symptoms like udavarta (anti peristalsis), abdominal pain and flatulence indicate dominance of vata in the plihodara. Symptoms like burning sensation, delirious state, excessive thirst and fever suggests dominance of pitta.

Predominance of kapha is judged by the symptoms like heaviness, lack of taste in the mouth and hardness of the abdomen. Presence of symptoms indicative of morbidity of rakta as mentioned in Vidhishonitiya Adhyaya point towards the dominance of morbid rakta in the pathogenesis of plihodara. Hence, plihodara should be treated according to the dominance of dosha involved [75-76].

Treatment of plihodara

स्नेहं स्वेदं विरेकं च निरूहमनुवासनम्|
समीक्ष्य कारयेद्बाहौ वामे वा व्यधयेत् सिराम्||७७||

snehaM svedaM virekaM ca nirUhamanuvAsanam|
samIkShya kArayedbAhau vAme vA vyadhayet sirAm||77||

With the due analysis of the pathogenesis, plihodara should be treated by measures like oral medication of sneha (medicated unctuous substance), sudation, virechana (therapeutic purgation), niruha (decoction enema) and anuvasana basti (oil enema) and raktamokshana (blood-letting) by sectioning the vein located in the left arm [77].

Plihodara with dominance of pitta is treated by oral administration of ghee medicated with jivaniya herbs (Jeevaka (Malaxis acuminta), rishbhaka (Microstylis muscifera), meda (Polygonatum verticillatum), mahameda (Polygonatum cirrhifolium), kakoli (Roscoea procera), kshirakakoli (Lilium polphyllum), riddhi (Habenaria edgeworthii), vriddhi (Habenaria intermedia), kshara basti (decoction enema consisting of alkali obtained from ash of herbs), raktavaseka (blood letting), shodhana (purification measures) and oral intake of milk. Patient is asked to take yusha (cereal soup) or meat soup processed with dipaniya (herbs augmenting the digestive power) drugs and light food. Since the etiology and symptomatology of plihodara (splenomegaly) and yakritodara (hepatomegaly) are same, so all the treatment mentioned for plihodara should be adopted in yakritodara [87-88].

Patient suffering from baddhodara (enlargement of abdomen due to gastrointestinal obstruction) should be initially treated by sudation followed by niruha basti (decoction enema) consisting of potent medicines, cow’s urine, saindhava (rock salt) and oil. After niruha basti (decoction enema), oil processed with same drugs should be given in the form of anuvasana basti (unctuous enema). Food that induces laxation should be given.

Curd is prepared from the mixture of one drona (12228g) of milk and half prastha (384g) of snuhi kshira (latex of Euphorbia neriifolia). This curd is churned properly to extract the butter. Thus obtained butter is boiled to get the ghee. Further this ghee is processed with trivrita (Operculina turpethum) to get the snuhi kshira ghrita. Alternatively one can take one prastha (768g) of cow’s ghee, mixed with eight prastha (6144g) of milk; and to this paste prepared from one pala (48g) of snuhi kshira (latex of Euphorbia neriifolia) and eight pala (384g) of trivrita (Operculina turpethum) is added. This is then processed to get the medicated ghee. This snuhi kshira ghrita is effective in alleviating the gulma (abdominal lump), garadosha (poison synthesized by combination of non toxic substances) and all types of udara. Thus is described snuhi kshira ghrita [138-140].

With the due consideration of morbid dosha, the physician should prescribe pippalyadi lavana for liquefying the kapha. The ingredients of pippalyadi lavana are pippali (Piper longum), tilvaka (Symplocos cochinchinensis/Jatropha curcas), hingu (Ferula foetida), nagaraa (Zingiber officinale), hastipippali (Scindapsus officinalis), bhallataka (Semecarpus anacardium), fruits of shigru (Moringa oleifera), haritaki (Terminalia chebula), vibhitaki (Terminalia belerica), amalaki (Emblica officinalis), katukarohini (Picrorhiza kurroa Royle), devadaru (Cedrus deodara), haridra (Curcuma longa), daruharidra (Berberis aristata), sarala (Pinus roxburghii), ativisha (Aconitum heterophyllum), vacha (Acorus calamus), kushtha (Saussurea lappa), musta (Cyperus rotundus), sauvarchala lavana (unaqua sodium chloride), vida lavana (ammonium salt), audbida lavana (salt obtained from earth), rock salt (saindhava) and samudra lavana (Sodi muris). The course powder of these drugs is added with curd/yogurt, cow’s ghee, vasa (animal fat), majja (bone marrow) and taila (oil extracted from seeds of Sesamum indicum) and then is burnt to get the kshara (alkali obtained from ash of herbs). This kshara is orally administered after the meals in a dose of one karsha (12g). The anupana (adjunct) for it is any one of madirā (alcoholic beverage), dadhimanda (liquid portion of curds), warm water, arishta (fermented decoctions), surā (alcoholic preparation made by fermenting a mixture of water, flour of rice, jaggery) and asava (fermented infusions). This medication effectively cures hridroga (cardiac disease), anasaraka, gulma (abdominal lump), plihodara (splenomegaly), arshas (piles), udara roga, visuchika (illness characterized by vomiting and diarrhea), udavarta (reversed course of vata in the abdomen) and vatashtila (mass obliterating the urinary and rectal passage)[157-161].

In condition where kapha is afflicted with morbid vata and pitta or where vata is overlaid by kapha and pitta, it should be treated by oral medication of eranda taila (oil of Ricinus communis) processed with relevant herbs that cure the morbid dosha.

After the proper elimination of the morbid dosha, if the abdominal distension recurs then it should be treated by niruha basti (decoction enema) consisting adequate amount of sneha (dietary fat), sour tasting drugs and saindhava lavana (Sodi chloriduium).

If morbid vata causes intestinal stasis and abdominal distension then it should be treated by administration of niruha (decoction enema) consisting of strong medicines such as kshara (alkali obtained from ash of herbs) and cow’s urine [172-75].

If patient suffering from udara does not respond to usual treatment due to morbidity of three dosha, then the physician should inform the critical state to the relative of the patient and start treating with venom of cobra after obtaining consent from the patients friends, spouse, brahmins, king as well as teacher. The physician should win the confidence of these people after clearly stating that the patient will not survive if the treatment with venom is not made, and patient may survive if this treatment is done. After obtaining the consent, the physician should mix the venom in food and drink and administer it to the patient.

Alternatively the angry serpent is made to release the venom while biting the fruit. Patient is allowed to consume this venomous fruit after proper analysis by the physician. This treatment immediately liquefies the infiltrating displaced morbid dosha by virtue of its pramathi (clearing the channels adhered with dosha) property and eliminates from the body. Once the dosha is cleared from the body by the action of venom patient is treated with cold water parishechana (pouring of medicated liquids on body parts). Depending upon the physical strength, the patient is allowed to drink milk or yavāgu (rice gruel). The food prepared from leafy vegetables that include trivrita (Operculina turpethum), mandukaparni (Centella asiatica), yava (Hordeum vulgare), vastuka (Chenopodium murale) and kalashaka (Corchorus capsularis) processed with juice of same leafy vegetables should be given to the patient but without adding amla (sour), lavana (salty) and sneha (unctuous substance). This food may be served with or without steaming and during this food rice is avoided. This regimen should be continued for one month. During this course if the patient is thirsty then the juice extracted from these leafy vegetables should be given to the patient. By this method once in one month all the morbid dosha is cleared from the body and the patient is advised to drink milk to improve the physical strength [175-184]

Surgical intervention should be done by an expert surgeon. A proper incision is made on the left side of the abdomen about fpur figure (7.8cm) below the umbilicus by an efficient surgeon. From this incision intestinal loops are drawn out and carefully looked for foreign substances causing chidrodara or baddhodara. Ghee is applied on the affected loop of the intestines. Then the foreign substances like hair and others are then removed from the intestinal loop. Any torsion or intussusception of the loops of intestines if present is opened. By the surgical procedure if large rend happens in the intestines then edges of rend is anchored by making the small ants to bite and hold the edges together. Once the ants properly anchor the opposing edges of rend, the body of the ants is separated and thrown. Intestinal loops are then properly inserted into the abdomen and the incised area is sutured. Then wound management is done [184-188].

In all conditions of udara with accumulation of fluid, the fluid should be aspirated by inserting a cannula into the abdomen just below the umbilicus on the left side. While aspirating, compress the abdomen and after the aspiration the abdomen is tightly wrapped with a cloth. This wrapping should also be done in cases where reduction of the abdomen is achieved by other methods like niruha basti (decoction enema) and virechana (therapeutic purgation). After the removal of the fluid patient is treated with langhana (reducing regimen) and is given peya (liquid rice gruel) with little or no addition of sneha (dietary fat) and salt. After this the patient is kept on only milk diet for six months. For another three months patient is allowed to take peya (liquid rice gruel) along with milk. Following this for another three months the patients is given rice prepared with shyāmaka (Echinochloa frumentacea) or koradusha (Paspalum scorbiculatum) added with milk. This light diet should be without salt altogether. By managing the patient in this manner for one year one can get cured of jalodara [189-192]

To prevent the perpetuation of morbid dosha and to regain the physical strength, milk should be included in all prescriptions for the patients suffering from udara. The physique of the patients of udara which is reduced due to medications is best recuperated by milk diet, and milk is regarded as best remedy identical to the nectar for gods in all patients suffering from depletion of all dhatu [193-194]

Thus the etiology, premonitory symptoms, general and individual symptoms of eight types of udara, complications of udara, seriousness of the illness, prognosis, symptoms of stages of udara as non accumulation and accumulation of fluid, and the specific as well as general treatment of udara roga are described by the sage Punarvasu in this chapter of Chikitsa Sthana [195-196].

Tattva Vimarsha (Fundamental Principles)

  • Abnormalities of jatharagni (digestive power) leads to the morbid accumulation of the mala (dosha and excreta- waste) and in turn tend to cause multiple diseases and particularly udara roga.
  • Affliction of prana vata, agni as well as apana vata are main culprits leading to accumulation of morbid dosha. This in turn obliterates the channels of sweda (sweat) and udaka (body fluid) tending upwards and downwards.
  • The causes of gross enlargement of abdomen include consumption of foods that lead to vitiation of pitta like hot, salty, kshara (alkali), that cause burning sensation, sour, ruksha (dry), slow poisons, erroneous dietary management following purification treatments, viruddha ahara (combination of foods having mutually contradictory properties), unhealthy foods, emaciation due to splenic enlargement, arshas (mass per rectum), emaciation due to grahani roga (malabsorption), improper administration of Panchakarma, ignorance of persistent illness without treatment, dryness of the body, withholding the naturally manifesting urges, morbidity of body channels, illness of ama (undigested food), psychological irritation, excessive consumption of foods, obstruction of the ano-rectal canal by the arshas (rectal mass, or piles), impaction of hair within the lumen of the intestines, impaction of hardened stools within the intestines, perforation or rupture of intestines, excessive accumulation of morbidity, indulging in sinful activities.
  • Apart from accumulation of morbid dosha in abdomen, splenomegaly, gastrointestinal obstruction, intestinal perforation, collection of fluid are the other causes of udara.
  • Liver and spleen are affected by morbid dosha leading to enlargement in size and udara.
  • The pathogenic factors in vata dominant udara are located at kukshi (lower abdomen), hridaya (heart), basti (bladder and urinary system), guda (ano-rectal canal).
  • The pathogenic factors in pitta dominant udara are located at amashaya (stomach and upper GI tract).
  • The pathogenic factors in kapha dominant udara are located at bahirantra (outer side of intestine i.e. peritoneal cavity).
  • Collection of ascitic fluid is due to affliction of kapha dosha and udaka. (body fluids).
  • Treatment protocol for vatodara includes administration of unctuous medications, abhyanga (unctuous massage), sweda (sudation), sneha virechana (purgation with unctuous purgatives)and pattabandhana (tight bandage on abdomen).
  • In order to prevent recurrence, udara should be treated by regular virechana (frequent therapeutic purgation). After purgation, milk is advised to improve the physical strength and to relieve the strain of purgation.
  • Asthapana (decoction enema) and anuvasana (unctuous enema) is advised to remove obstruction.
  • Physically strong patients suffering from pittodara should be treated by virechana karma (therapeutic purgation) first.
  • Physically weak patients should be treated by purification by adapting kshirabasti (decoction enema consisting of milk as predominant ingredient). After they regain physical strength and digestive power improves, the patient should be treated with virechana (therapeutic purgation).
  • In patients suffering from kaphodara, shodhana (eliminative therapy) is done after preparing with oleation and sudation. In samsarjana krama (gradual diet schedule) pungent, kshara and anti kapha diet is prescribed.
  • Plihodara should be treated by measures like oral medication of sneha (medicated unctuous substance), sudation, virechana (therapeutic purgation), niruha (decoction enema) and anuvasana basti (oil enema) and raktamokshana (blood-letting) by sectioning the vein located in the left arm. The vata and kapha dominated plihodara should be treated by agnikarma (cauterization).
  • The treatment of baddhodara (enlargement of abdomen due to gastrointestinal obstruction) includes sudation followed by niruha basti (decoction enema) consisting of potent medicines, cow’s urine, saindhava (rock salt) and oil. After niruha basti (decoction enema), oil processed with same drugs should be given in the form of anuvasana basti (unctuous enema).
  • Chhidrodara (enlargement of abdomen due to intestinal perforation) is treated by all measures of kaphodara except sudation. The patient should be maintained by repeated aspiration of the abdominal fluid as and when it gets collected.
  • All types of udara (enlargement of abdomen) are mostly due to tri-discordance of dosha, hence treatment that alleviates all three dosha should be adapted in all types of udara.

Vidhi Vimarsha (Applied Inferences )

Etiopathogenesis

Impairment of jatharagni leads to morbidity of all the three dosha. Mala in the present context refers to morbid vata, pitta and kapha, the metabolic bi-products formed during dhatu metabolism i.e. during tissue formation as well as the wastes like excreta[1]. Impairment of agni leads to excess formation of metabolic bi products (mala) and less formation of quality products. This leads to accumulation of the waste at micro-cellular circulation, which causes multiple diseases. More specifically, this accumulation of wastes at various visceral organs like liver, spleen etc. leads to distension of abdomen[2].

Malina ahara meaning unhealthy food refers to all food articles that cause morbidity of dosha in the body when consumed[1]. Malina ahara also includes unclean vegetable and other food articles[2]

Excessive dryness of the body in the absence of counteracting the same by proper measures leads to the udara roga. The disease ama causing udara refers to the chronic perpetuation ama leads to udara roga.[3]

Ama as a cause of udara also refers to the consumption of uncooked foods.[2]

Severe suffering of diseases like pliha here refers to the suffering due to non availability of proper treatment predisposes to udara roga. Morbidity of srotas refers to the mutravaha and purishavaha srotas and others that lead to the manifestation of udara roga.[2]

Traveling and other physical activities immediately after the meals are referred as irritation after the meals and are the cause of udara roga.[2]

Listing of sinful acts as etiology indicates the serious unrighteousness as the potent etiology of udara roga[3] [12-13].

All the foods that are greasy, heavy for digestion or light for digestion and dry causes vidaha (burning sensation in the abdomen during the digestion of foods) or else the patient develops vidaghdajirna(intermediate state of digestion that caused burning)[4][12-15] .

The pathogenesis mentioned earlier in the text is of all types of udara roga. The pathogenesis described here is that of the four types of udara caused by morbid dosha viz vatodara, pittodara, kaphodara and sannipatodara[3][20].

Two tier impairment of jatharagni is mentioned as the cause of udara roga. In a patient with impaired jatharagni (digestive juices), consumption of unhealthy foods further impairs the functioning of jatharagni. This indicates extreme impairment of jatharagni is involved in the pathogenesis of udara roga.

Impairment of agni is the initial state that causes indigestion and morbidity of dosha. Morbid dosha in turn further impairs the functioning of agni thus forming a vicious cycle.

Morbid dosha formed by the indigestion afflicts the srotas. Constriction and dilatation are the two varieties of pathology of srotas. Dilatation leads to excessive circulation and constriction leads to decreased circulation. In the pathology of udara, srotas are obliterated due to morbid dosha. This obliteration at swedavaha srotas leads to impairment of sweating. The fluid within the sweda-vaha-srotas is deviated to udaka-vaha-srotas thereby adding to the body fluids.[5] [3]

Udakavaha srotas that are coursing upwards and downwards are also being obliterated by the morbid dosha. The body fluid increased in the srotas is then deviated to the abdomen between the tvacha (skin) and mamsa (visceral tissues) causing udara roga [6]

The divergence of fluids is not restricted to sweda-vaha-srotas and udaka-vaha srotas, rather rasa-vaha srotas is also obstructed. Rasa dhatu is another source of fluid in the body. This fluid is also deviated to the space between the kala (mucus membrane) and visceral tissues in the abdomen. Thus, the fluid from the udaka-vaha srotas, sweda-vaha-srotas, rasa-vaha srotas and annavaha srotas deviates into the abdominal cavity [5]

Fluid is diverged from the koshtha into the space between the kala (mucus membrane) and visceral tissues in the abdomen. In the present context, the word koshtha refers to the intestines wherein digestion as well as separation of nutrient from the waste and assimilation of nutrients takes place. To be clearer the chyle formed in the intestines is diverted to the abdominal space between the kala (mucus membrane) and visceral tissue. The accumulation of the fluid in the abdominal space is due to the diversion of fluids from the intestines, rasa, udaka(fluid) as well as sweda (sweat)[5].

Diversion of fluids from the sweda-vaha, udaka-vaha, and rasa-vaha srotas is mobilized by the morbid vata. In this pathology, the prana vata acts in the upper part of the trunk whereas the apana vata acts at the lower part of the trunk.

Since the fluid is diverted, the other body parts exhibit emaciation. Contrary to this the abdomen shows distention as the diverted fluid accumulates in the abdomen[5].

No visible srotas is involved in the diversion of fluids into the abdomen. Rather it is from the minute pores present in the intestine, fluid oozes into the abdominal space between the kala and visceral tissues. This can be best understood by the allegory of oozing of the water stored in the new earthen pot through the invisible minute pores.[5] Thus, in udara, the distension of abdomen is due to the accumulation of the fluids within the space between the kala and visceral tissues in the abdomen[7] [9-11].

Types of udara roga

The clinical condition of peritonitis is comparable to the udara roga in general. Clinically this is categorized into primary or secondary, acute or chronic and localized or diffuse. These are comparable to the doshaja udara that includes vataja, pittaja, kaphaja and sannipataja udara roga. Splenomegaly and hepatomegaly refers to plihodara and yakritodara respectively. Intestinal obstruction is said by the baddhagudodara (enlargement of abdomen due to gastrointestinal obstruction) and chhidrodara (abdominal enlargement due to intestinal perforation) refers to the intestinal perforation. [22]

Peritonitis caused without an apparent source of contamination of peritoneal cavity is regarded as primary peritonitis. The spontaneous peritonitis caused due to hematogenous spread of bacterial infection into the peritoneum causing inflammation. Chronic liver disease is the most common cause of such infection. This can even happen without any underlying disease. 80% of the patients present with fever. Acute onset of abdominal pain is characteristic and malaise, fatigue, or encephalopathy is the other co-morbidity.[8] The primary peritonitis caused by gram negative bacteria matches with the symptom of vataja udara. Sub acute manifestation with non pyogenic exudation causing ascites points towards the diagnosis of vatodara. Microbiology study of ascitic fluid will reveal pathogens like Escherichia coli and enterococci[8][25].

Again, based on the etiology udara roga is further segregated into nija (endogenous) and agantuja (exogenous) type. Among the different types of udara roga; the types of udara caused due to erroneous food and habits and mediated through morbidity of dosha and dushya is considered as nija type of udara. Plihodara (enlargement of the spleen) and jalodara (enlargement of abdomen due to collection of fluid) are segregated as nija udara in the list of dushya dominant udara. All the four types of dosha dominant udara fall under the category of nija udara (distension of abdomen due to endogenous causes). Contrary to this the baddhodara (enlargement of abdomen due to gastrointestinal obstruction) and chidrodara (abdominal enlargement due to intestinal perforation) caused by injury of intestines due to external factors are regarded as agantu udara (distension of abdomen caused due to exogenous causes)[5][22].

Vatodara

Initial morbidity of vata caused by aggravated kapha during the pathogenesis of vatodara indicates that the morbidity of kapha is secondary. Thus, this secondary morbidity of kapha distinguishes the vatodara and kaphodara[3] [23-24].

Since the lower part of the abdomen is the normal location of vata, distention of the abdomen initially occur in its lower parts.[3] Blackish and reddish discoloration of nails, conjunctiva, mouth and dermis is pathognomonic of morbid vata[3]. [25]

Pittodara

In this pathogenesis, the morbidity of pitta is most predominant than that of vata and kapha. It is worth mentioning here that suppression of the agni in this context implies the suppression of dhatvagni[3] [27].

The primary peritonitis caused by pyogenic gram positive bacteria like streptococci, and pneumococci matches with the symptom of pittaja udara. Acute presentation of the illness with rapid progression into prominently exudative ascites justifies the contention of pittodara. Microbiology study of ascitic fluid will reveal pathogens and will clinch the diagnosis[8][28]

Kaphodara

Peritoneal tuberculosis is comparable to kaphodara. Chronic perpetuation of the illness with the co-morbidity of the respiratory illness justifies the same. Infection of peritoneum with Mycobacterium tuberculosis also causes peritonitis. Fever, anorexia, weakness, malaise, and weight loss are the initial constitutional manifestations. Abdominal distention then develops either because of partial intestinal obstruction or ascites. Doughy abdomen is regarded as most classic sign of tubercular peritonitis. In most of the cases it is possible to detect the primary focus of infection in the lungs. Abdominal tenderness associates the abdominal pain. Analysis of ascitic fluid confirms exudative ascites.[8][31]

Sannipatodara

Dushyodara is another name of sannipatodara. This is not the ninth type of udara and the total number of udara remains eight[9].

Literally the term dushya refers to the pathology of affliction. Since the illness occurs due to the affliction of rakta; it is termed as dushyodara. Or else, the mutual affliction of dosha is characteristic of sannipatodara hence is termed as dushyodara[10].

Wicked ladies with an intention of subjugating male partners or winning love, likely to offer food mixed with poison treated substances like menstrual blood, body dirt, hair, excreta, urine bone and nails. Person unaware of the mischief of ladies likely to consume the adulterated food offered by them and suffer from sannipatodara. Even enemies may practice adulterating the food with poison treated substances. Unknowingly, consuming such food also leads to the sannipatodara[11].

Probably the slow poisoning is attempted by the enemies. The poisons having reduced potency due to the act of environmental factors is known as dushivisha. The enemies may contaminate the food with such dushivisha. Person consuming such contaminated food suffers from sannipatodara[3] [32].

Intra-abdominal malignancy spreading into the peritoneum causes malignant ascites. Usually it is the endometrial, colonic, gastric and pancreatic carcinoma, which may progress into peritoneal carcinomatosis. Even extra gastro intestinal malignancies like carcinoma of the breast, melanoma and lung carcinoma can cause peritoneal spread. Characteristically ascites happens in this condition in the absence of portal hypertension, tuberculosis, or right heart failure. Diagnostic paracentesis is confirmatory in this condition. More to add, the development of malignant ascites is always indicator of poor prognosis. This peritoneal carcinomatosis presenting with plethora of symptoms that matches with the symptoms pathognomonic of morbid vata, pitta and kapha dosha, and its prognosis substantiates the consideration of sannipatodara in such cases[8][33-34].

Plihodara and Yakritodara

The etiology, pathology and treatment of plihodara and yakritodara are identical. Thus, for the descriptive purposes these two conditions are collectively called as Yakrita-plihodara.

Among the above said list of etiological factors; variety of dietary factors like sweet and greasy foods that cause affliction of rakta dhatu is the cause of achyuta plihavriddhi. All the other etiological factors are of chyuta plihavriddhi [12] [35].

The Sanskrit term chyuta refers to the act to descend and the vriddhi implies abdominal enlargement. Descent of the spleen is said to happen due to the violent jerk that happens during different physical activities. Descended spleen causes abdominal enlargement. Further this is of four types based on causative morbidity of dosha as vataja, pittaja, kaphaja and sannipataja. [12]

In Sanskrit, the word Achyuta refers to lack of downward displacement. Vriddhi refers to the abdominal enlargement. Put together, the word achyuta plihavriddhi refers to the abdominal enlargement due to splenic causes without its descending. The morbidity of the rakta dhatu causes enlargement of the spleen which in turn is responsible for the abdominal distension. Thus, the chyuta and achyuta type of plihodara together forms five types of plihodara[12] [36].

Febrile illness of mild degree is the symptom of plihodara. Habitual consumption of food habits that cause burning sensation leads to the morbidity of rakta as well as pitta dosha. Morbid pitta dosha and rakta dhatu cause mild fever. Further loss of appetite is a clinical symptom of plihodara. Habitual consumption of abhishyandi foods causes morbidity of kapha which in turn is responsible for the impairment of agni[5] [37-38].

Baddhagudodara

Acute or chronic intestinal obstruction due to variety of causes is comparable to baddhodara (enlargement of abdomen due to gastrointestinal obstruction). Sudden development of intestinal obstruction in an otherwise healthy person may be due to strangulation, paralytic ileus, and intussusception. Even the simple of malignant stricture of the colon, diverticulitis and pressure by a tumor can cause obstruction. Impaction of masses of roundworms, too much cellulose like orange peel, hair balls and other foreign substances can also cause intestinal obstruction.

Rare cause of gastro-intestinal obstruction is by the bezoars. The concretions of the foreign materials that are retained in the gastrointestinal tract for long is termed as bezoar. This can happen in all locations from esophagus to anus. The ingestion of fruits and vegetable consisting of indigestible fibers leading concretion of the same in gastrointestinal tract is known as phytobezoar. It is observed that consumption of food articles like apples, grapes, oranges, cherries, raisins, bran, oats, cabbage, potato peels, peanuts, and celery can cause phytobezoar. Also the phytobezoar formed from the excessive consumption of persimmons (Diospyros kaki) is known as diospyrobezoar and is a subtype of phytobezoar. More to add items such as plastic, paper, string, or styrofoam are also known to cause bezoars. The swallowed hair in the gastrointestinal tract can form concretions and is termed as trichobezoar. Medicines getting solidified with the gastrointestinal lumen are known by the name pharmacobezoar. The risk of formation of bezoar is increased with inadequate mastication, missing teeth, or poorly fitting dentures. These remain asymptomatic until they cause obstruction of the gastrointestinal tract.

Clinical presentations include absolute constipation, no passing of the flatus. This is true even after repeated enemata. Abdominal pain initially referred to umbilicus. Eventually the abdominal pain turns into colicky in nature due to strong peristalsis trying to overcome the obstruction. Tenderness is little. Since the beginning the patient will have projectile vomiting. Vomitus consists of food particles initially and then bile follows and finally stercoraceous with fecal odor. Abdominal distention is noticed, more in the flanks in colonic obstruction and will be seen in the central abdomen if, the obstruction is in the intestines. Peristalsis may be visible. Gradually the patient develops the constitutional symptoms like prostration, thready rapid pulse. Urine is diminished. Obstruction located in proximal intestines may cause tetany [39-41].

Kshatodara

The word kshatodara is formed by the component terms kshata and udara. The Sanskrit term kshata refers to the perforation caused by substances like sand particles. Kshatodara is caused by perforation of the intestines due entangling of the foreign substances that are consumed along with the food. Thus, the distension of the abdomen caused by the perforation of the intestines is termed as kshatodara[13].

Parisravi udara

Parisravi and udara are the component terms of parisraavi udara. Parisraavi is again formed by the verb sraai with the addition of the prefix pari. The prefix pari gives the meaning of extensive from all the sides. The verb sraavi refers to the secretion. Thus the term parisraavi refers to the pathology of morbid flow or extensive secretion from all sides.

Pathologically this illness is characterized by intestinal contents oozing into the abdomen and the abdominal contents in turn oozing into the rectum. Hence the illness is called as parisraavi udara[14].

Chhidrodara

The component terms chhidra and udara together forms chhidrodara. Chhidra refers to perforation and udara refers to distension of the abdomen. Thus, the illness characterized by the perforation of the intestines is known as chhidrodara[15][42-43].

The foreign substances consumed with the food may traverse along the length of intestines without hurting it. At times these foreign substances may traverse across the length and hurt the intestines leading to perforation. Thus, if the foreign substances traverse along the length of the intestines without hurting, then the patient do not suffer from chhidrodara.[5]

Foreign substances consumed along with food causes perforation of the intestines. Even consumption of excessive food and yawing with excessive stretching of the body may lead to perforation.[5] The intestines contain liquid chyle consisting of both nutrients and waste. This liquid leaks out of the intestines through the rent caused by the perforation into the space between the abdominal skin and flesh. Note that, fluids also leak into the abdomen in doshaja udara but not through the rent, but by the method of diffusion.[5]

The fluid leaked out of the intestines again re-enters into the rectum. Over filled fluid with the space between the skin and viscera may re-enter into the intestines through the end of perforation. Or else the fluid may seep into the rectum. Thus, the rectum gets filled with the undigested food consisting of nutrients and waste which is defecated out[5].

The accumulation of the chyle within the abdomen that does not diffuse into the rectum causes jalodara. This jalodara of chhidrodara is different from the jalodara. Jalodara as type of udara is caused by distinct causes as an independent disease and the fluid accumulates by the process of diffusion. Jalodara is a phase in chhidrodara and is due to the leakage of fluids form the perforated intestines.[16]

Since the fluid tends to occupy the dependent parts, the accumulation of the chyle in the abdomen causes distention of the lower part of the abdomen below the umbilicus.[12]

The etiopathogenesis of chhidrodara matches with that of secondary peritonitis. Perforation with in any part of gastrointestinal tract leading to spillage of luminal contents into the peritoneal cavity causes peritonitis and is referred as secondary peritonitis. Perforation can happen in conditions like appendicitis, diverticulitis, peptic ulcer, and trauma. More to add hollow organs are more susceptible to athletic injury when they are full of waste and food products leading to peritonitis. The common pathogens causing such peritonitis include Escherichia coli, Streptococcus faecalis, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Klebsiella mirabilis, Bacteroides fragilis, Clostridium species, and anaerobic streptococci. Also, aseptic peritonitis is possible if sterile bile, digestive juice leak into the peritoneal cavity. In this condition infection is possible later during the course of the illness.

Sudden development of abdominal pain is the initial and typical of any acute diffuse peritonitis. Characteristically it is the constant pain. Pain may be diffuse or referred to the umbilicus. At times the pain may happen at sites corresponding to the site of perforation. Patients usually lie motionless with knees drawn up which prevents stretching of nerve fibers in the peritoneal cavity. Activities like coughing and sneezing that increases the pressure within the peritoneal cavity increases pain. During the coarse, the peritonitis may subside or localize, and accordingly the abdominal pain may show partial remission.

On palpation, abdominal tenderness, voluntary guarding and involuntary abdominal rigidity, and rebound tenderness can be appreciated. Abdominal rigidity is typical and is referred as board like rigidity. This rigidity may be absent in elderly and immune-compromised patients. Hypovolemia (dry mucous membranes, tachycardia, hypotension), nausea fever and vomiting may co exist this initial phase of illness.

Paralytic ileus supervenes in the pathology of peritonitis. Ileus is characterized by diminishing of the bowel sounds. Percussion note becomes tympanitic. Further as the disease advances the tachycardia progressively worsens and temperature gradually falls indicating impending peritoneal shock from bacterial toxemia and septicemia. Investigation may reveal leukocytosis. Free air under the diaphragm may be seen in an upright chest radiograph if a ruptured viscus is the cause.[17]

Jalodara

Udaka in Sanskrit translates as fluid and udara refers to the distension of the abdomen, put together the term udakodara means distension of the abdomen due to accumulation of the fluid. According to Sanskrit literature, the word dakodara is formed by the removal of initial letter u from the word udakodara. Thus, formed word dakodara also give the same meaning of udakodara.[18]

Water intoxication and edema are the two distinct clinical implications of over hydration. Excessive intake of plain water without adequate solutes causes abnormal increase in extracellular fluid with deficient sodium. This in turn causes movement of fluid into the cell to maintain the salt balance. Thus, resulting in cellular edema which in turn causes the clinical manifestation of water intoxication and it is a fatal condition. Contrary to this over hydration with adequate intake of sodium leads to increase in the fluid within the interstitial compartment due to excess of isotonic volume excess. The water does not diffuse into the cells as the solutes hold the water in the interstitial fluid compartment. Thus this will result in the edema. This edema is due to over hydration and is comparable to jalodara.

Over hydration is observed in different clinical situations. As fluid supplementation is recommended in patients suffering from gastroenteritis, an excess of fluid intake may lead to over hydration. Identical to this, excessive fluid intake after any of the purification procedure may have similar sequel. Psychogenic polydipsia characterized by compulsive water drinking may sometimes lead to over hydration. This is also true in mentally challenged children. Individuals are likely to take large amount of fluids following long bouts of intensive exercise and will have the similar consequences of over hydration. Marathon runners are susceptible to excessive fluid intake while running and may prove incriminatory. Any physical activity leading to profuse sweating like working in extreme heat or humidity; may be followed by intake of excessive fluid to replace the loss. These situations with excessive fluid supplementation with adequate addition of salt and other solutes lead to edema.[18]

Edema due to isotonic volume excess is characterized by weight gain, dependent edema, pitting edema, engorged neck vein, ascites, pericardial effusion, pleural effusion, increased blood pressure and congestive cardiac failure. [47]

All types of udara are characterized by distension of the abdomen. Accumulation of the fluid in the abdomen is the common pathology in these conditions. But in the initial phases the collection of the fluid in the abdomen is due to the diffusion of chyle. This chyle is little as the impairment of agni is less severe. Also the little accumulation of the fluid is not detected clinically. In this state, in the absence of immediate effective treatment; morbid dosha tend to obliterate the external body channels that maintain the homeostasis of fluid in the body. The chyle is more liquefied. And more and more fluid is poured into the abdomen causing huge accumulation of the fluid in the abdomen. At this stage, accumulation of the fluid is clinically detected. Accordingly, the udara roga is distinguished into three stages. Identification of these stages is important and immediate energetic treatment should be planned lest all udara finally land in jalodara. Condition of ajatodaka, piccha and jatodaka are the three stages of udara .

The course of primary as well as secondary peritonitis exhibits a typical progression. Initially the peritoneum gets inflamed and is characterized by abdominal pain and associated symptoms. This inflammation of the peritoneum is supervened by paralytic ileus. This paralytic ileus is responsible for the diminishing bowel sounds, gaseous distention of the abdomen and tympanic percussion note. This stage of peritonitis is the ajatodakavastha of udara.

As the inflammation continues gradually the fluid starts accumulating. The features of gaseous distension are going to be masked by the fluid accumulation. This phase of peritonitis is indicative of picchavastha of udara.

Further as the fluid accumulates, the patient develops the complete symptoms of ascites that include horse shoe dullness, shifting dullness and fluid thrill. This stage of peritonitis is considered as jatodakavastha of udara[8] [48-49].
