Significance of Pain and inflammation
Pain and inflammation are interconnected symptoms described in both Ayurveda and modern science. In Ayurveda, they can stem from embedded Shalya, potentially leading to further health issues. From a scientific perspective, these symptoms often arise from conditions such as balanoposthitis or osteoarthritis, which impact patients' quality of life. The relationship between tissue inflammation and resultant pain underscores the importance of effective management strategies in clinical practice, highlighting the necessity for accurate diagnosis and treatment to alleviate discomfort and swelling.
