subjectAbstract

Prameha is well described in Samhitas with symptoms characterized by profuse urination with several abnormal qualities due doshic imbalance. Acharya Sushruta gave a gender importance that “ Streenum Prameha Na Bhavanti, ” because “her body undergoes natural shodhana inform of menstruation. Prameha is corelated with Diabetes Mellitus. The data shows prevalence of type 2 DM is worldwide with 17.7 million, more in men than women. Total & diagnosed diabetes prevalence was higher in men (18.0 % & 12.9% respectively) than in women (13.7 % & 9.7% respectively).
