Significance of Complication
Complication refers to adverse effects or secondary health issues that can arise from a medical condition or its treatment. In various contexts, including Ayurveda and Vaishnavism, complications can stem from untreated conditions, surgical procedures, or other medical interventions. These complications can exacerbate existing health problems and lead to more severe outcomes, such as infections, additional health issues, or recovery challenges. Recognizing and addressing complications promptly is crucial for effective management and improved health outcomes.
