ABSTRACT

The word vidradhi is derived from root word vidra +dha +i[1] implies a painful condition like pricking, stabbing or cutting sensation in the skin. Vidradhi is a Rakta Dusti Vikara which undergoes rapid suppuration followed by formation of Puya. Acharya Charaka has explained Vidradhi under Raktavaha Sroto Vikara[2] in which Rakta Dushti and Paaka takes place predominantly. The extremely deranged and aggravated Vata, Pitta, Kapha vitiates Twak, Rakta, Mamsa and Meda. Acharya Charaka has classified Vidradhi into Bahya and Abhyantara vidradhi.[3] Guda Vidradhi is one among the Abhyantara vidradhi.[4]Sthana Vishesha Lakshana of Guda Vidradhi is Vata nirodha.[5] Guda vidradhi can be corelated to Ano-rectal abscess which incidence in INDIA is about 16 per 1 lakh people.
