Which of the following is a sign of grahani roga?

• A. Thirst
• B. Debility
• C. Burning sensation in abdomen
• D. Frequent loose stools

Answer: (C)

Grahani roga is a digestive-tract disorder seen in Ayurveda where the digestive fire (agni) in the small intestine becomes disturbed. When this happens, heat and irritation build up in the gut, leading to a burning sensation in the abdomen. This burning reflects the local irritation and impaired digestion characteristic of grahani.

Thirst and debility are more nonspecific symptoms that can accompany many conditions, and frequent loose stools can occur with grahani but are not as distinctive. The burning abdominal sensation, by contrast, points directly to the heat and irritation in the GI tract that defines grahani.
