Null Hypothesis (H0) :
There is no association between MalavegaVidharanaand
Number of Manifested Symptoms given in major texts of
Ayurveda.
Alternative Hypothesis (H1): There is an association
between MalavegaVidharanaand Number of Manifested
Symptoms given in major texts of Ayurveda.
Chi –Square (Non-parametric) test was applied to discrete data
generated through the study.
Chi –Square Value (Calculated) = 53.04
Chi –Square Value (table) = 53.04 at 1 degree of freedom and
0.05 (5%) level of significance.
As calculated Chi-Square value is greater than the table value,
null hypothesis of no association is rejected and alternative
hypothesis is accepted.
There is a statistically significant association between
MalavegaVidharana and Number of Manifested Symptoms
given in major texts of Ayurveda.
Discussion:
The research study entitled “An Observational Study of
aetiopathological Effects of MalavegaVidharana” was
planned to assess the aetiopathological effects of
MalavegaVidharana as it has a potential to cause manifold
harmful effects on one’s health in present time.
Cross-sectional study was conducted in which the method of
data collection was survey method. Total 200 study subjects
were selected in the age group of 16 – 70 years irrespective of
gender and socio-economic status. After obtaining written
informed consent from every study subject, they were
examined and interrogated thoroughly and data were recorded
in the case record form.
Clinical assessment of 200 study subjects was done with the
help of pre-designed Case Record Form (CRF) and
questionnaire. The severity and overall score of
MalavegaVidharana as well as manifested symptoms due to
MalavegaVidharana were assessed and recorded in the CRF.
The data was analyzed by using appropriate statistical tests.
There is a statistically significant association between
MalavegaVidharana and Number of Manifested Symptoms
given in major texts of Ayurveda.
“VegasandharanamAnarogyakaranamAgryam” (Charak
Samhita Sootra. 25)
The suppression of natural urges causes vitiation of the dosha
of the body mainly Vata Dosha and further cause accumulation
of Ama (toxins) in the body. “Prevention is better than Cure”
hence it is advisable not to suppress these natural Vegas.
According to Ayurveda, the first line of treatment in all
diseases is "avoid the cause". Therefore, all diseases that can be

caused by the suppression of the various natural urges can be
prevented simply by not suppressing any of them. Although it is
very true that one should never suppress a non-suppressible
urge, but it is also equally important not to forcibly initiate an
urge, as it can create an imbalance in functioning of Vata Dosha
causing related diseases.
Conclusion:
The conclusions drawn from the scientific discussion are as
follows-
1.There is a strong and positive cause-effect relationship
between MalavegaVidharana and manifested symptoms, as
mentioned in major Ayurvedic texts.
2.While evaluating differential diagnosis, MalavegaVidharana
should be considered as one of the prime etiopathological
factors in various disease conditions.
3.It will be certainly helpful to emphasize on not suppressing
the urges of faecus and other natural urges in view of “Nidaan
Parivarjana” as “First Line of Treatment”.
