Due to aharaja, viharaja and manasika nidanas agni become manda thus aggravates the doshas. The aggravated doshas enters guda, vitiates gudavalis to form mamsapraroha called as Arshas. In contemporary science it can be correlated to Haemorrhoids. Haemorrhoids are the dilated veins within the anal canal in sub-epithelial region formed by radicles of superior, middle and inferior rectal veins. These are classified as internal and external hemorrhoids. Hemorrhoids are very common and affecting globally 50-80%. In India 75% of population.
