Classical view, not medical advice.
ईशानेऽपि महादेवि कोसलापुरतोऽनघे ॥
In the northeast, O great Goddess, beyond the town of Kosala, O sinless one, there was a town called Gudha. A king's son lived there.
नामतो अहिशर्मेति तस्य पत्नी कला शुभा ॥
His name was Ahisharma. His wife was the good Kala. He had wealth and grain. He was handsome as the god of love.
याति चाखेटकं नित्यं मृगीं हत्वा च गार्भिणीम् ॥
He went hunting every day. He killed even a pregnant doe. Each day he fed his body on deer meat.
