Mucous in stools is described as a feature of which grahani roga type?

• A. Vata type
• B. Kapha type
• C. Pitta type
• D. Sannipata grahani roga

Answer: (B)

In Grahani disease, the symptoms reflect which dosha is dominating. Mucous in the stools points to Kapha involvement, since mucus is a hallmark of Kapha and indicates damp, sticky, heavy qualities in the GI tract. When Kapha predominates in Grahani, stools tend to be mucus-laden and somewhat copious, aligning with that dosha’s characteristics. In contrast, Vata-dominant Grahani tends to show dry, hard stools, and Pitta-dominant Grahani often presents with a hotter, potentially burning pattern and different stool features. Sannipata Grahani would show a mix of these features. So mucous in stools most closely corresponds to Kapha-type Grahani.
