Significance of Pathogenesis
Pathogenesis, according to Ayurveda and Science, describes the biological mechanisms behind the development and progression of diseases. In Ayurveda, it emphasizes the relationship between the physiological state and the disruptions caused by the Tridosha theory, highlighting how imbalances affect health. Science expands on this by studying disease progression through diagnostics and understanding the role of microorganisms. Various factors influencing disease onset, such as genetic mutations and lifestyle habits, are also crucial in both perspectives on pathogenesis, providing insights for treatment protocols.

Hindu concept of 'Pathogenesis'
In Hinduism, Pathogenesis is interpreted as the development of disease through the Tridosha theory, highlighting health determinants, biological mechanisms, and the transition from physiology to pathology in the body.
From: History of Indian Medicine (and Ayurveda)
(1) The process by which disease develops and progresses, linked to the Tridosha theory that outlines the three determinants of health.[1] (2) The biological mechanism that elucidates the development of the pathological state from the physiological state of the body.[2]
From: Charaka Samhita (English translation)
(1) The origination and progression of diseases within the body.[3]
The concept of Pathogenesis in scientific sources
Pathogenesis encompasses the mechanisms behind disease development, including Madhumeha and its relation to doshas, Kriyakala, and various disorders, highlighting the interplay between traditional Ayurvedic principles and modern medical understanding.
From: The Malaysian Journal of Medical Sciences
