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 6 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 diaetary guidelines are treatment measures of udara roga.

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''.
