• A. Vidarika Prameha Pidaka
• B. Jalini Prameha Pidaka
• C. Sharavika Prameha Pidaka
• D. Putrini Prameha Pidaka

Hint:

"Nimnamadhya" refers to the specific localization of swelling observed in Sharavika Prameha, which is associated with diabetes-related conditions.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is C

According to Sushruta, Nimnamadhya refers to the specific characteristic of Sharavika Prameha Pidaka. The term Nimnamadhya describes the condition where the swelling (Pidaka) is prominent at the middle and lower parts of the body, which is a feature commonly seen in Sharavika Prameha (a type of diabetes).
- Vidarika Prameha Pidaka typically presents with more general symptoms.
- Jalini Prameha Pidaka is related to excessive urination but does not feature Nimnamadhya.
- Putrini Prameha Pidaka also doesn’t typically present with this characteristic. Thus, the correct answer is Sharavika Prameha Pidaka.
