Many theories and as many reasons are given, but in most of the cases,
cause of stone formation in the kidneys is not clear. Biochemical
dysfunction seems to be the only possible explanation. Stones generally
develop very slowly. Tendency to stone formation may be hereditary.
Stones may vary in size from sand particles to large stone. Urinary
stones may be present for many years and may give rise to no symptoms.
When a stone obstructs the urinary passage, mild pain to severe renal
colic occurs. There may be restlessness, sweating, pallor,
vomiting, frequent urination, blood in urine etc. during pain.
Attack of pain may last few hours to few days, varying in severity time
to time. In many cases, urinary infection is a common occurrence.
HOMEOPATHIC APPROACH
1.
Homeopathic treatment plan comprises of:
·
Ultrasonography at regular interval of three to four months to monitor
(a) the size of the stone and
(b) Movement of the stone along the urinary passage.
·
Kidney function tests should be done to evaluate the function of
kidneys.
·
Urine examination may be helpful to treat the accompanying urinary
infections.
·
Parathyroid hormone essay and serum calcium level should be considered
if the stone formation is recurrent.
2.
It is a well-known fact that some stones can pass naturally. But often
they may cause severe pain and at times obstruction. But with
homeopathic treatment, even moderate sized stone can pass absolutely
painlessly.
3.
Though the use of painkillers and antispasmodics can relieve the pain
and spasm, but in the process can actually hamper or suspend the onward
and outward movement of the stone. With homeopathic treatment,
body’s natural reactions are stimulated that helps throw out the stone
without much discomfort.
4.
At times, it is seen that with homeopathic treatment stones gradually
dissolve into sand particle s and get eliminated from the urinary system
without being aware of it. This can be monitored by subsequent
Ultrasonograms watching the gradual reduction in the size of the
stones.
5.
As stone formation is just a bye-product of body’s biochemical
dysfunction at deeper levels, only removal of the stone by natural or
surgical means is not enough. Homeopathic treatment not only removes the
stone, but can also modify the tendency to form stones by improving
body’s natural balance in general, and biochemical dysfunction in
particular.
6.
In bilateral, multiple and recurrent stones, homeopathic treatment is
far-more superior than surgery or any other therapy as it has the
potential to help the body, not only throw the stone out but also
improve the biochemical dysfunction to check the recurrence of stone
formation.
7.
Surgery can be helpful only when the size of the stone is very large and
causing damage to kidney by back- pressure. Even then, homeopathic
treatment is of significant importance to improve the basic biochemical
defects.
8.
Homeopathic treatment can also help avert the complication of surgery.
9.
With homeopathic treatment, accompanying urinary infections are also
relieved.
10.
AND, the added advantage is that with homeopathic treatment, general
health also improves.
DIETARY RESTRICTIONS
·
Large number of dietary “take and avoid” is known to the masses, but
their role is doubtful. With good homeopathic treatment and proper
monitoring by ultrasonography, dietary restrictions are not mandatory.
