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.<ref>Sushrut,  Sushruta samhita, with nibandha sangraha commentary of dhallahan & Nyayachandrika commentary of of gayadasa, yadavji trikamji , nirnaya sagar press, 1915, P713, Pgno 236</ref> <ref name="ref12" />

''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'' <ref>Vagbhata.
