Also, the pathogenesis of blood disorders do not mention why a body would be predisposed to vessel wall problems, platelet dysfunctions, or clot inhibitions. Bleeding from different orifices of the body is not correlated with pathophysiology in biomedicine. Ayurveda however discusses ''raktapitta'' as an endpoint to a series of imbalancing events, and separates the discussion of diagnosis in [[Nidana Sthana]] from the discussion of treatment in [[Chikitsa Sthana]].

==== Summary ====

Internal hemorrhage/hemorrhagic disorders of conventional medicine are well described in Ayurvedic texts in the form of raktapitta disorders, and the pathogenesis of raktapitta diseases forms the basis of this chapter. Raktapitta bleeding occurs through bodily orifices (mouth, rectum, urethra, nose, eye, ear, vagina, as well as hair-roots), per Ayurveda. The parallels between the description of bleeding disorders in conventional medicine and Ayurveda are quite apparent in this regard. An important aspect of the discussion on raktapitta disorders is the fact that some disorders are curable, some palliable and some are incurable – and that all these variants are dependent on doshic imbalances beyond just the pitta vitiation. It is important to note here that if proper attention is not paid, even curable disorders can soon aggravate to incurable variants. Avoidance of known causative factors is certainly one of the best measures to overcome this disease. Attempts need to be made to collect data on the effect of these factors (known to Ayurveda) and establish an empirical, evidence-based relationship between food articles (some of the primary etiological factors) and bleeding disorders.
