having less number of etiological factors, Sthoulya will be less complicated & easily curable. However if these factors gets associated with Beeja Dosha, patient quickly reaching towards Atisthulya condition & it becomes incurable or Yapya. Likewise, the presence of less number of signs & symptoms in mild form are easily curable, whereas increasing number of clinical manifestation & increased degree of severity makes the disease difficult to manage.
