Homeopathy
treats kidney stones by helping the body heal naturally. It aims to dissolve
small stones, relieve pain, and prevent new stones. Kidney stones are solid
masses or crystals that form from substances (like minerals, acids, and salts)
in your kidneys.
Causes
Urine
contains minerals, acids, and other substances, like calcium, sodium, oxalate,
and uric acid. Too many particles of these substances in urine and too little
liquid can start to stick together, forming crystals or stones.
Symptoms
Serious, sharp
pain in the side and back, below the ribs.
Pain that
spreads to the lower stomach area and groin.
Pain that
comes in waves and varies in how intense it feels.
Pain or a
burning feeling while urinating.
Other symptoms may include:
Pink, red or
brown urine.
Cloudy or
foul-smelling urine.
A constant
need to urinate, urinating more often than usual or urinating in small amounts.
Upset stomach
and vomiting.
Fever and
chills if an infection is present.
Pain
caused by a kidney stone may change as the stone moves through your urinary
tract. For instance, the pain may shift to a different part of the body or
become more intense.
Diagnosis
Blood
tests. Blood tests may reveal too much calcium or uric acid in your blood.
Urine testing.
The 24-hour urine collection test may show that your body is releasing too many
stone-forming minerals or too few substances that prevent stones.
Imaging. Imaging
tests such as CT scans may show kidney stones in your urinary tract. An
advanced scan known as a high-speed CT scan may help find tiny uric acid
stones.
Ultrasound is
another imaging option to diagnose kidney stones.
Analysis of
passed stones.
Prevention
Drink enough water.
Add fresh lemon juice to your water.
Avoid fizzy drinks.
Do not eat too much salt.
Keeping your
urine clear helps to stop waste products getting too concentrated and forming
stones.
FAQs
Are renal stones
painful?
The kidney stone starts to hurt when it causes irritation or blockage.
This builds rapidly to extreme pain. In most cases, kidney stones pass without
causing damage-but usually not without causing a lot of pain
What food causes
kidney stones?
Foods high in salt. Limit canned foods, prepackaged meals, and adding
sodium to your food. Sodium can raise the levels of calcium in your urine.
Animal proteins: Too much of all animal proteins, including chicken, beef,
pork, or fish, can increase your risk of kidney stones
What drink
removes kidney stones?
Water is best. You can also drink ginger ale, lemon-lime sodas, and
fruit juices. Drink enough liquids throughout the day to make at least 2 liters
of urine every 24 hours.
