What the text says
Each statement reports the source, with its chapter, page and verse. Traditional descriptions are not presented as proven medical facts.
Classification2
The presentations listed are: both hands and feet first together; the head alone with the hands left inside; the back and flank, or the belly, first; and the head and feet together so that the hips come first.
Vata aggravated in the vagina makes both feet come first, and the fetus comes out in many different ways, so obstructed labour has many kinds.
How it develops1
When a fetus that has grown without complication turns towards delivery and apana vata becomes aggravated, it reverses the fetus's course so that the fetus cannot quickly find the outlet and starts to come out the wrong way; this is called mudhagarbha.
Treatment principle2
The course of the obstructed fetus is to be considered well and the child taken out quickly in whatever way it can come; otherwise, the text says, it will kill the mother.
The course of an obstructed fetus is very varied, so the skilled physician who knows all its kinds is to remove it by various fitting methods and afterwards treat the mother.
Prognosis2
The text says that if it is not treated quickly it destroys life.
A woman with obstructed labour who is in extreme pain, afflicted by distension, raving greatly, overcome by fainting and with upturned eyes is to be regarded as incurable and given up.
