Abstract
Vibandha is a common condition seen in childhood, which is one of the main reasons for increased parental concerns. It occurs as a result of the obstruction happening to the functioning of Apana Vayu. It is not only an independent disease but also a complication of some diseases and is responsible for both physical and psychological morbidity and poor quality of life. It is defined as infrequent passage of stool with pain and difficulty, or delay in defecation. Management of constipation revolves around correcting the underlying cause, dietary modifications, and behavioral training.
A 12-year-old female patient was admitted to the IPD of Kaumarbhritya , Shri Ayurved College and Hospital Nagpur , with complaints of difficulty in passing motion regularly associated with the passage of hard stools once every 8 to 10 days. Abdominal pain on & off for 3-4 months, bloating, burning sensation in the body, headache, loss of appetite, and general weakness. These complaints have been persisting for the past 5-6 months. This condition can be understood as Vibandha. After a thorough clinical examination and laboratory evaluation, Panchakarma treatment, including Abhyanga, Swedan, and Matra Basti, was started with suitable internal medicines. There was significant improvement in the condition of the patient. Later, she was discharged with medicines and dietary advice to be continued at home.
