An umbilical granuloma is a most common umbilical abnormality in neonates which occurs due to overgrowth of umbilical tissue during the healing process. In Ayurveda, umbilical granuloma can be correlated with conditions like Pindalika(one of the complication of improper cutting of umbilical cord) or NabhigataArsha(extra growth on umbilicus). Aneight-years-old male child presented with a complaint of reddish swelling on umbilicus with discharge and occasional bleeding from umbilicus sincebirth. On examination a single swelling on umbilicus measuring 1 × 0.8 × 0.5 cm, cherry red in color with serous discharge was present. It was soft, non-tender and moist. Surrounding skin was occupied with unhealthy accumulation of chronic discharges.Under aseptic precautions, Apamarga Pratisaraneeya Kshara (alkaline preparation having Achyranthes aspera plant) was applied on the umbilical granuloma. This treatment procedure was repeated for next two days. At seventh day from the first day of the Kshar application, it was completely healed. Umbilical granuloma was successfully treated with Kshara Karma.
脐肉芽肿是新生儿最常见的脐部异常,它是由于愈合过程中脐部组织过度生长所致。在阿育吠陀医学中,脐肉芽肿可与诸如品达利卡(脐带切断不当的并发症之一)或脐部肿物(脐部额外生长)等病症相关。一名8岁男童自出生以来就有脐部发红肿胀、有分泌物且偶尔出血的症状。检查发现脐部有一个肿物,大小为1×0.8×0.5厘米,呈樱桃红色,有浆液性分泌物。它质地柔软,无压痛,湿润。周围皮肤有慢性分泌物的不健康积聚。在无菌预防措施下,将阿帕玛尔加普拉蒂萨拉尼耶药粉(一种以牛膝草植物为原料的碱性制剂)应用于脐肉芽肿。接下来的两天重复此治疗程序。在施用该药粉的第一天后的第七天,它完全愈合了。脐肉芽肿通过药粉疗法成功治愈。
