The word Purva means prior or earlier and the word Rupa means symptoms.In total the symptoms observed before manifestation of any disease is known as Purvarupa. No illness manifests itself overnight. The period spent from intake of etiological factors (Nidan Sevan) to the emergence of specific symptoms is called as Purvarupa. These are premonitory characteristics that appear before to the disease's actual onset. Usually, Purvarupa is either in milder form or poorly manifested form or unmanifested form,so that forthcoming disease is not clearly identified during Purvarupa stage.This Purvarupa manifest when Dosa Dushya Sammurchhana commence i.e during fourth stage of Satkriyakala which is called Sthanasamshrayavastha. Understanding Purvarupa carefully aids in both determining the prognosis of illnesses and their differential diagnosis. Prognosis refers to likely outcome or course of a disease and the chance of recovery or recurrence of same. Any disease associated with all Purvarupa is regarded as incurable and also refers to poor prognosis.Any disease with a smaller number of Purvarupa is refers to good prognosis which is either easily curable (Sukhasadhya). Any ailment can be treated more simply or easily at the Purvarupa stage. Therefore, understanding Purvarupa is crucial for predicting the course of an illness i.e prognosis of disease.It also helps to early prevention and management of disease.
