Hospital,Jalukbari,Guwahati-14

INTRODUCTION :

The word Gulma literally means a bush /a shrub,a cluster or clump of trees, a troop or division of army which signifies a collection of something together, having a specific shape,size, mass, or specific form to defined.

But in Ayurveda ,it signifies a very unique diseaseWhich occurs only in the Koṣtha ( mahasrotasa) but having

bahyamargaja and abhyantara margaja forms ( Ca.Su.11/ 48-1,Ca. Su. 11/ 49) )

CONTD.INTRODUCTION…..

Which is one of the Raktapradosaja vikara (Ca.Su.28/11).

Is one of the 48 Samanyaja vikara (Ca.Su.19/3)

Is one of the Ekadesiya śotha / sthaniya sotha prakaraja roga (Ca.Su.18/ 29)

Which manifests only in 5 Sthanasa-Hṛdaya,Nabhi,2 Parśva and Basti .

CONTD.INTRODUCTION….. which is characterised by pain

(vedana) as the most important symptom and a palpable lump as the most important sign.

which can be judged by 5 diagnostic criteria—Samutthāna, Pūrvarupa, Liṇga,Vedana and Upaśaya(Ca.Ni.3)

Samprapti does not help in ascertaining the specific features of Gulma(Ca.Ni.5).

CONTD.INTRODUCTION…..

Which is said to be a disease without any dusya involvement i.e, Nirāśraya but, in Kṛtavāstuparigraha state, there is involvement of mamsadi dhatu and if not treated properly may get suppurated with the involment of rakta just like vidradhi.(Ca. Chi. 5/44. Chakrapani)

Gulma roga has been named on the basis of its Ȧkṛti (shape).

MYTHOLOGICAL ORIGIN OF GULMA

During the destruction of Daksha’s sacrifice, gulma first manifested itself in human beings, who fled in all directions, due to agitation in their body because of fleeing , swimming, running, flying, jumping etc

In Sannipatika Gulma due to vitiation of all the three dosas(vikritivisamasamnipata), shares the symptoms of all the three types of Gulma. It is also known as Nicchay Gulma which is incurable.

So, in the pathogenesis of all types of Gulma, Vayu

invariably plays the primary role.

(Ca.Ci.5/18 CK tika) The same concept is also accepted by Indu ,but Indu also mention non development of Rakta Gulma even in the women having pratanu artava( As.Ni.11/44.indu tika)

Both gulma and abhyantara vidrdhi occurs in kostha,bothare having local swelling( utsedha), and pain(sula) .

Arvuda –The large vegetation of mamsa which appears at any part of the body, becomes slightly painful, rounded, immovable and deep-seated, and has its root sunk considerably deep in the affected part, and which is due to the vitiation of the Mamsa , Rakta and Meda by the aggravated Doshas(Váyu, Pittam and Kapham) is called an Arvuda. The growth of an Arvuda is often found to be slow, and it seldomes suppurates.

Acc to Ayurveda nine division of Abdomen

GULMA IN MODERN SCIENCE When we look for its modern interpretation, Gulma is not a single disease.It is a single name representing a collection of many medical and surgical conditions which even includes Gynaecological and Obstetrics conditions.It represents a bunch of disease conditions which occurs in Intra- abdominal organs.Any types of pain associated with a palpable lump/mass which occur in any quadrantsof the abdomen may create a suspician of GULMA.

VATIK GULMA Lumps due to intestinal tuberculosis

chronic intussusception umbilical or epigastric hernia

appendicular lump(without inflammation)

phantom tumor

PAITTIK GULMA

Lumps due to regional ileitis Appendicular abscess Psoas abscess Empyema of gall bladder Hepatic abscess Cholecystitis

Psoas abscesscholecystitis

KAPHAJA GULMA- Any palpable mass which is stable,painless or with less pain,hard in consistency,elevated associated with fatigue,nausea,and heaviness in body . Tumours connected with liver ,spleen,stomach,kidneys, pancrease,tranverse colon and pelvic organs which are painless and benign in nature may come under Kaphaja gulma.

SANNIPATAJA GULMA -Any palpable mass with severe excruciating pain,excessive burning sensation,stone like compactness and elevation of the affected parts,quick suppuration,disappearance of the strength of the mind,body,digestion as well as metabolism. This type can be consider as any malignant condition of abdomen with the above clinical features.

Hydatid cyst

RAKTAJA GULMA- taking into account etiopathogenesis and clinical featuresof rakta gulma,all the local (reproductive system) and general conditions described in modern medicines giving rise to amenorrhoea can be considered under rakta gulma.However rakta gulma seems to be specifically analogus to Molar Pregnancy( carneous mole and hydatiform mole). In molar pregnancy,there is initial ammenorrhoe,and presence of allthe features of early months of pregnancy,followed by P/V Bleeding.Due to association of infection fever,cough and foul smelling vaginaldischarges can be seen.The product of conception assumes a shape of rounded mass in carneous mole and bunch of grapes in hydatiform mole.The trace of exact fetus is rarely found.Fetal parts are not felt ,nor fetal movements, there is absence of fetal heart sound. Vomiting,varrying degree of lower abdominal pain are present,patient looks more ill than accounted for,pallor is also present.(D.C.Dutta Obst.) Normally all those conditions arising after menstruation,labour, uterine curettage or other yoni rogas(gynac disorders),,having cardinalsymptom as amenorrhoea in association with fever,diarrhoea,colic,cough and dyspnoe etc. can be considered under rakta gulma.

CRYPTOMENORRHOEA is anoher condition which can be correlated with rakta gulma.In cryptomenorrhea ,there is shedding of the endometrium and bleeding but the menstrual blood fails to come out from the genital tract due to obstruction in the passage.CausesCongenital causes—Imperforate hymen,Transverse vaginal septum, Atresia of upper-third of vagina and cervix.Acquired causes—Stenosis of the cervix following amputation,deep Cauterisation and conisation,, - Secondary vaginal atresia following neglected and difficult vaginal delivery.Pathology—There is only accumulation of blood in the uterine cavity resulting in haematometra,then haematosalpinx.Clinical Features-Amenorrhoea dated back from the events,periodic pain in the lower abdomen,symmetrically enlarged Uterus, abdominal examination reveals an uniform globular mass in the hypogastrium,rectal examination confirm a uterine mass .Treatment---Dilatation of the cervix to drain the collected blood

PSUEDOPREGNANCY---A condition in which a patient has nearlyall of the usual signs and symptoms of pregnancy,such as enlargementof abdomen,weight gain,ammenorrhoea and morning sickness but is not pregnant.It is usually seen in women who either are very desirous of having children or wish to avoid pregnancy.Treatment usually is done by psychiatric means.It is also known as Pseudocyesis,phantom pregnancy.Psuedocyesis also occurs in men.

OVARIAN TUMOURS —Are usually not associated with Amenorrhoea,They are not caused due to abnormality or collection of menstrual blood,while rakta gulma developes due to accumulation of unexcreted rakta.

UTERINE FIBROMYOMAS/TUMOURS - Are usually associated withMenorrhagia rather than Amenorrhoea.Moreover, these are made up of muscle fibres wth fibrous tissues not of blood.

Phantom tumor

An accumulation of fluid in the interlobar spaces of the lung occurring as a result of congestive heart failure and appearing radiologically as a neoplasm. A swelling resembling a tumor, usually caused by muscle contraction or gaseous distension of the intestines.

.WHAT CAUSES AN ABDOMINAL MASS?

Abdominal masses can be the result of a number of factors, including an injury, cyst, tumor, cancer, or disease.

CystsA cyst (abnormal mass in the body, filled with fluid or infected matter) is sometimes to blame for an abdominal mass.Cysts that commonly cause abdominal masses are:Ovarian cysts - cysts that form in or around the ovariesCholecystitis - gallstones (abnormal mass of hardened digestive fluid) often cause this condition. Gallstones block the tube leading out of the gallbladder, leading to gallbladder inflammation.Uterine fibroids - noncancerous tumors that grow in or around uterus

CancerCancers that often cause abdominal masses are:Colon cancerKidney cancerLiver cancerStomach cancer

DiseasesCertain diseases may also cause abdominal masses. These diseases include:Crohn’s disease - an inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) that causes inflammation of your digestive track lining,

Other ConditionsOther conditions that can cause an abdominal mass include:Abdominal aortic aneurysm - an enlargement and/or protrusion of the large blood vessel that supplies blood to the abdomen, pelvis, and legsPancreatic abscess - a pus-filled hollow in the pancreasDiverticulitis - inflammation or infection of the diverticula. Diverticula are quite common pouches that form in places such as your intestines and colon that protrude out of the organ’s weak spotsHydronephrosis - enlarged kidney due to the backup of urineEnlarged liverEnlarged spleen

Volvulus (twisted piece of the gastrointestinal tract),Uretero-pelvic junction obstruction,Bladder distention,Cholecystitis (an inflammation of the gallbladder)Bowel obstruction,Gallbladder tumor,Pancreatic pseudocyst

Signs and Symptoms of an Abdominal Mass

Swelling in the area affected Unintentional weight gainPain Inability to urinateAbdominal discomfort Inability to pass stoolNausea Feeling fullVomitingFever

Abdominal masses may be hard, soft, stable, or moveable.

How Are Abdominal Masses Diagnosed? 1. Medical History and Physical Examination During physical examination, the clinician must identify the location of the mass (usually specified in terms of quadrants). The mass should be assessed for whether it is rigid or mobile.It should also be characterized for pulse or peristalsis,or tenderness,as these would help in further identifying the mass.2. Routine blood tests  They should include a full blood count, blood urea nitrogen (BUN),creatinine, and liver function tests such as albumin,  international normalized ratio (INR),partial thromboplastin time (PTT), serum amylase and total bilirubin (TB).

3.An Imaging Test –to determine the size and location.Also determine the type of mass.Commonly used imagingTests are:Abdominal Computed Axial Tomography (CAT) ScanAbdominal X-rayAdominal UltrasoundWhen imaging tests are not enough, and needed a closer look at the area involved.Then , a Colonoscopy may be done. This is especially true if the digestive system is involved.Women who have ovarian or uterine cysts will require a special imaging scan called a Transvaginal ultrasound. Unlike an abdominal ultrasound, which views organs on the inside by sliding a probe over the abdomen, a transvaginal ultrasound is performed by inserting a probe into the vagina. This allows the doctor to have a closer look at the uterus and ovaries.

Future Health Complications

Abdominal masses that choke off organs may damage the organ.If any part of the organ is damaged, it may need to be removed surgically.If there are multiple masses in the abdomen, you may need several forms of treatment or surgical procedures to eliminate the masses. Cancerous masses may come back after treatment.Women with polycystic ovary syndrome may develop multiple cysts in their ovaries on a monthly basis. These cysts may go away without treatment;however, some may grow large enough to warrant surgical removal

KEY POINTS ABOUT GULMA : Charak has mentioned Gulma just after

raktapitta because due to raktapitta vata dosha is aggravated and vata is the main dosa for causation of Gulma.

Sushruta has mentioned Gulma along with Shula in Uttar tantra as both possess vedana as their feature and differentiated it from vidradhi in Nidana Sthana

Madhavkara have mentioned gulma after Anaha as anaha is present in gulma also.

DIFFERENTIAL DIAGNOSIS CONTD........ Vagbhata in Astanga Hriday have

mentioned simirarity between Vidradhi, Vriddhi and Gulma along with Anaha, Asthila, pratyasthila, tuni and Pratituni in the same chapter.

CONCLUSION Gulma is a very unique disease in Ayurveda,which is avatapradhana kosthagata roga, signifying a group of diseaseswith pain and localised abdominal lump as the cardinal features along with many gastro intestinal symptoms.Its correlation with a single modern disease in not possible at all.Because, it covers a group of diseases occuring intra-abdominally ranging from simple gaseous obstruction in the intestine to a an incurable malignant conditions including intra abdominal abscess as one of its chronic condition. It includes many medical,surgical ,gynaecological,and obstetrical conditions in modern medicine.But for judging gulma we have to look for causative factors,signsand symtomps and Upasaya.

As indicated by its name, it is a collection of morbid dosas in condensed form ,like a shrub having its concealed root .This gulma may vitiate mamsaadi dhatu and may make deep seated extensive base/root or sometimes may involve amlatayukta dusta rakta finally termnating intoa vidrdhi.Summarising the treatment procedure we can said that,Gulma caused by only one of the three dosas should be treated according to the dosa vitiated.The types of gulmacaused by 2 dosas dhould be treated by sadharana cikitsa.The serious upadrava should be attempted first immediatelyThan the other one which is less serious..If we are not able to ascertain its type,we should start with the treatment of vata dosa. By observing the features of gulma, it can be said that GULMA roga of Ayurveda is GULMA(cluster) of different medical ,surgical,gynaecological,and obstetrical conditions which occur intra-abdominally.
