Purish Vega, the urge to defecate, is considered an Adharniya Vega (non-suppressible urge) in Ayurveda. Suppressing this urge, known as Purish Vega Dharana, can lead to various health complications. Ayurvedic texts and modern medicine describe these effects, including abdominal pain, bloating, constipation, rectal pain, and disorders related to the small intestine. The management of these complications involves addressing the underlying cause and promoting regular bowel movements. Shankh-Prakshalan, an easy and effective gastrointestinal cleansing technique, is recommended for managing the adverse effects of Purish-Vega Dharana. The study was conducted in 30 clinically diagnosed patients of purish as adharniyavega with an objective of alleviating symptoms arising from purishvegadharan viz-pakvashya-shoola, shiro-shoola, vata-varchoapravartanam, adhmanam, pindiko-udveshtan& its management was done by shankh-prakshalan.It was observed that suppressing the urge to defecate can impact both physical and mental well-being.
