Pills, injections and ointments - methods of official medicine

There are two ways to treat kidneys using modern medicine - conservative and surgical. It is clear that surgical intervention is indicated in the most extreme cases, when neither pills, nor compresses, nor injections can correct or alleviate the situation. Therefore, there is no point in considering in detail the situations when this method is most appropriate, and dwelling on modern surgical techniques - we will leave these details to professional surgeons. Let's talk about conservative methods that allow you to effectively treat your kidneys.

All kidney diseases, by nature, can be divided into:

• inflammatory (eg, pyelonephritis ),
• physiological (prolapse of the kidney),
• dystrophic (renal dystrophies of various types: glycogenic, parenchymatous, fatty),

A special case is kidney stone disease, which does not fall into the above group categories. It is considered to be a consequence of metabolic disorders in the body, but the exact mechanisms of development have not been fully studied, so we will leave this disease as a separate group.

Treatment measures to eliminate kidney diseases should be aimed at:

• relief of pain, for which painkillers are used, for example, baralgin (in cases of renal colic, urgent administration of narcotic painkillers is required, which qualified medical specialists have the right to use in cases of urgent need), antispasmodics, no-shpa is most often used, in tablets or as an injection, mixing it with saline;
• inhibition and complete cessation of the inflammatory process. In this case, the use of antibiotics, non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, and uroseptics is indicated;
• normalization of renal function and removal of edema – inclusion of diuretics, a special diet, and supportive physiotherapy in the treatment course.

Along with drug treatment, a number of general strengthening procedures are used, which are aimed at increasing muscle tone, especially the abdominal press, and increasing subcutaneous fat tissue. Such measures are necessary in cases of detection of kidney prolapse, which occurs due to a decrease in intra-abdominal pressure, low muscle tone and depletion of fat reserves in the body, which contributes to a decrease in the effectiveness of the renal ligament apparatus. Correctly selected measures to strengthen the body in some cases allow the prolapsed kidney to be returned to its place without drug intervention.

Strong muscles, a healthy body and strong immunity - normalize not only the functioning of the kidneys, but also the entire body as a whole.

How to treat kidneys using traditional methods?

Some patients prefer to combine modern medicine with traditional methods of treatment, for example, Chinese traditional medicine. Acupuncture has long been recognized throughout the world, few will deny the usefulness of this method. The method is effective and efficient for many diseases, you just need to find a smart specialist who understands in detail all the intricacies of this ancient science of healing.

Before entrusting your body and health to doctors working according to Chinese medicine methods, you should carefully study the documentation confirming their professional compliance, pay attention to their work experience. If specific clinics are indicated, it would be a good idea to get reviews about this specialist there. Such a collection of information will help to make the right conclusions and will largely have a positive effect on the outcome of treatment procedures, because respect and trust in the doctor plays a very important role.

Treating kidneys with traditional medicine is not just a science, it is a whole art, with all the necessary ceremonies, restoring the balance of yin-yang energies, checking the meridians of each organ, bringing the whole organism to balance. And only then, acupuncture, warming with stones, a course of acupuncture, herbal treatment and Chinese massage.

Herbs, berries and roots - folk methods of treatment

Folk wisdom, accumulated over centuries, is used not only for the treatment of various ailments, the experience of ancestors is useful in many difficult situations that modern man faces. The attentiveness of people of the centuries-old past sometimes surprises no less than the great discoveries of modern scientists. Noticing insignificant details, making objective conclusions from unimportant cause-and-effect facts - this is what distinguished our great-grandfathers from us, people pampered by technical progress.

In-depth study of the healing power of nature, the diversity of medicinal products growing literally underfoot, was a matter of everyday life in the distant past. The diverse action of the same herb, prepared in different ways, on different bases, helped to create complex recipes used in different situations.

It is suggested to treat kidneys with folk remedies using different combinations and proportional ratios of herbs such as rose hips and knotweed, parsley and anise, bearberry and lingonberry, leaves, shoots and flowers of birch, juniper.

As mentioned above, the same herb prepared in different ways has different effects. Proportions and ratio with other components are also of great importance. Therefore, if preference is given to treatment with folk remedies, it is worth trusting a professional phytotherapist who will select the right herbal collection that meets the needs of a particular situation.

Mineral waters for kidneys - spa treatment

It cannot be said that sanatoriums and resorts specializing in the reception of patients with kidney problems provide only therapeutic measures. Most often, sanatorium and resort treatment is indicated for recovery after the main treatment, for the prevention of relapses, for maintaining the body, in order to avoid the transition of the acute form of the disease to a chronic one. Before going to a sanatorium to treat the kidneys, it is necessary to undergo a course of treatment for the main disease and only then get a referral to the desired resort area. Depending on the kidney disease, Kislovodsk or Mineralnye Vody will suit some, while others should go to the seaside, for example, to Yalta.

People suffering from kidney disorders are strictly prohibited from visiting sanatoriums with therapeutic hydrogen sulphide waters. There are also a number of contraindications when visiting any other resort regions. To get more precise instructions and recommendations, it is still worth contacting your doctor. In addition to good advice, you can also get a free voucher for a therapeutic holiday, which cannot be done when contacting a travel agency.

Shoulder stand and splits – unconventional methods of kidney treatment

Most often, the phrase "alternative medicine" means folk remedies, but in our case, it is truly an unconventional approach to treating the body. Let's talk about the healing properties of yoga.

Of course, there are no such indications and recommendations for yoga classes that would force a person to exotic poses during an attack of severe pain. Yoga classes should be started after the main course of treatment for kidney disease has already been completed and the time for the recovery period begins. Strengthening all vital functions of the body, restoring the body's defenses after an intensive fight against inflammation or infection, raising the level of emotional state to high limits - all this is quite possible to do with the help of yoga.

When learning the basics of this art, you need to pay attention to such poses as "Locust", "Cobra". These two poses strengthen, in fact, the kidney area. Although, doing yoga constantly, the body, over time, begins to enjoy any pose, and the discovery of additional capabilities of your body gives a great mood and a lot of strength for daily activities.

Resume

Therefore, the most correct solution would be a comprehensive approach to the problem, combining all the appropriate effective methods that accelerate the overall healing effect, causing minimal harm to the body.
