UROLOGICAL CONDITIONS
Kidney Stones
Kidney stones are solid masses or crystals that form from substances (like minerals, acids and salts) in your kidneys. They can be as small as a grain of sand or — rarely — larger than a golf ball. Kidney stones are also called renal calculi or nephrolithiasis.
Depending on the size of your kidney stone (or stones), you may not even realize that you have one. Smaller stones can pass through your urinary tract in your pee with no symptoms. Large kidney stones can get trapped in your ureter (the tube that drains urine from your kidney down to your bladder). This can cause pee to back up and limit your kidney's ability o filter waste from your body. It can also cause bleeding.
It can take as long as three weeks for kidney stones to pass on their own. Even some small stones can cause extreme pain as they go through your urinary tract and out of your body. You may need a provider to break up and remove a stone that can't pass on its own.
Causes
Your pee contains minerals, acids and other substances, like calcium, sodium, oxalate and uric acid. When you have too many particles of these substances in your pee and too little liquid, they can start to stick together, forming crystals or stones. Kidney stones can form over months or years.
Symptoms
The most common symptom of kidney stones is pain in your lower back, belly or side (flank pain). It might feel like it extends from your groin to your side. It can be a dull pain or sharp and severe. It’s sometimes called colicky pain because it can get worse in waves.
Other kidney stone symptoms include:
Nausea and vomiting.
Bloody pee.
Pain when you pee.
Inability to pee.
Feeling the urge to pee a lot.
Fever or chills.
Cloudy or foul-smelling pee.
Smaller kidney stones may not cause pain or other symptoms.
Treatments
If the stone size is less than 5 mm it can pass out on its own. No treatment is required in such patients. Only lot of fluid intake is necessary.
If the stone size more than 5 mm, if he or she has multiple stones, obstructed calculi or recurrent stone tendency then meditation is necessary. Homeopathy helps in breaking the bigger or obstructed stones and helps in their removal from the urology system. The recurrence of stones can also be cured by homeopathy by removing the tendency of body.
few homoeopathic medications which help in such cases are Berberis vulgairs, baryta carbonica, sarsaparilla etc.
