subject: Natural Kidney Stone Remedy [print this page] Kidney stones are hard, small deposits that begin to grow inside your kidneys. These stones consist of acid and mineral salts. Kidney stones can affect various areas of your urinary tract and can extend from your kidneys to your bladder. Stones form when one's urine becomes more concentrated.
Anyone who has had a kidney pass through, will tell you that it is very painful but it is good to know that it will not cause any permanent damage. Some get rid of stones simply by taking medication and drinking a lot of water; while others may need surgery or other more intensive treatment.
For some, stones may not cause any real pain until it begins to move around inside your kidney or begins to pass into the tube that connects the kidney and the bladder. When this happens, certain symptoms can be felt such as pain that spreads to the lower abdomen and groin, waves of pain that goes from mild to sever, severe pain in the side and back and also below the ribs can be felt by one who is suffering from this health condition. Other symptoms of pain when a stone passes into the kidney or bladder are: pain when urinating, pain that spreads into the lower abdomen and groin, nausea and vomiting and fever and chills if an infection occurs.
If your doctor thinks that you may have a kidney stone, he or she may want to have you take some tests such as blood test, imaging test, urine tests, offer pain relievers or put you on some kind of medical therapy.You can reduce the risk of stones by drinking water through out the day, by eating certain foods such as spinach, beets, tea, chocolate and products made of soy. There are also treatment plans that help with kidney stones such as using sound waves. Sound waves are strong vibrations that break the kidney stones into small pieces that can then be passed in the urine. Surgery can also be done to remove pieces that are very large. This is done by using small telescopes and instruments that are inserted into your back.
Another kidney stone treatment is by using a scope to remove the small stones. This is done by placing a thin tube that is lighted with an attached camera and put this tube through to your ureter. Once the stones are found, tools are used to break the stone into small pieces, that eventually pass through your urine. In addition, there are some natural kidney stone remedies that have helped many such as drinking six to seven glasses of water every day. This procedure can flush out stones that have developed and prevent stones from occurring. Another natural remedy is to avoid foods such as chocolates, coffee, peanuts, tea, grapes and strawberries. Also, by not cosuming too much vitamin C, you can also lessen the risk of developing stones. Some also suggest eating less animal proteins and exercising regularly. Exercising helps the bones to absorb more calcium and lessen the possibility of calculus forming in the kidneys.
