In grahani roga, delayed digestion of food leading to heaviness is a sign reflecting disturbance of digestion.

• A. Delayed digestion of food leading to heaviness
• B. Rapid digestion with energy
• C. Loss of appetite without GI symptoms
• D. Hysterical appetite suppression

Answer: (A)

In grahani roga, the digestive fire (Agni) is disrupted and tends to be sluggish (manda Agni). When digestion is delayed, food stays longer in the gut, producing a feeling of heaviness after meals. This heaviness directly reflects a disturbance in digestion, which is the hallmark of grahani. That is why the statement describing delayed digestion leading to heaviness best captures the underlying issue.

Rapid digestion with energy would imply strong or normal Agni, not the impaired digestion seen in grahani. Loss of appetite without GI symptoms is not specifically about digestion getting disturbed after eating, and hysterical appetite suppression isn’t a recognized clinical sign related to grahani.
