Renal stones/ Urolithiasis is just another area of action, where homeopathy works wonders. Undoubtedly, homeopathy takes care of most of the renal complaints as well, preventing Surgical interventions. Renal stones can be in Kidneys, ureters, or urinary bladder. All these are well easily treatable until and unless they are stuck in narrow spaces. We don’t risk it to patients discomfort.
Results have been overwhelming across the homeopathic society for renal stones, the fastest result being seen as early as a month and almost total cure within 3 – 9 months in the majority of cases.
The mode of treatment remains uniform throughout any disease condition for us, the homeopaths. Individualization is the key, that means complete detailed case taking and then addressing the patient as a whole and not just one particular part being treated. This sole rule stands true here as well to attain a proper cure and prevent recurrence as we all know that stone formation is a tendency and till that’s not treated, the person isn’t cured.
Here’s a brief about Renal stones.
Renal stones or urinary calculi present typically with ‘Renal Colic’- Acute pain in the loin /waist region radiating to the groin, with or without hematuria (blood in urine). Constant dull pain persists in the back or loin area.
These Urinary Calculi are made of salts-calcium/phosphorus/magnesium, proteins & glycoproteins; are probably the consequence of Environmental and dietary factors.
Causes for kidney stones are-
- Low urine formation- due to weather/ less water intake
- High protein diet, high sodium intake
- Hypercalcemia
- Familial history
When these stones get stuck in ureter, that is most agonising. However, not all stones are threatening, size, shape, component all comprise to the effect. Stones in bladder also common these days. Most of the stones pass spontaneously through the urinary tract and with little care and Homeopathic support, can be well avoided in future.
Diagnosis:
- Urine routine- show red blood cells
- Plain abdominal x ray- 90% stones are visible
- Intravenous urogram (IVU) or Intravenous Pylogram (IVP)- detecting the position of stone in case of obstruction in ureters.
Caution:
Do not ignore any pain in your waist region and back.
Do not panic.
Stay well hydrated.
Monitor your diet.
Reach out to a trusted Homeopathic Physician first.
