URINARY TRACT DISORDERS
ABOUT URINARY TRACT DISORDERS
Recurrent Urinary tract Infection, involuntary urination, renal stone, albuminuria, prostatitis.
The urinary system, also known as the renal system or urinary tract, consists of the kidneys, ureters, bladder, and the urethra. The purpose of the urinary system is to eliminate waste from the body, regulate blood volume and blood pressure, control levels of electrolytes and metabolites, and regulate blood pH. The urinary tract is the body’s drainage system for the eventual removal of urine.
THE MAIN FUNCTIONS OF THE URINARY SYSTEM AND ITS COMPONENTS ARE TO:
- Regulate blood volume and composition (e.g. sodium, potassium and calcium)
- Regulate blood pressure.
- Regulate pH homeostasis of the blood.
- Contributes to the production of red blood cells by the kidney.
- Help synthesize calcitriol (the active form of Vitamin D).
- Stores waste product (mainly urea and uric acid) before it and other products are removed from the body.
The urinary tract disorders include urinary tract infections, kidney stones, bladder control problems, and prostate problems, among others. Depends upon their acute or chronicity of the problem we can treat them homoeopathically.
Recurrent renal stone can be permanently treated with homoeopathy with any surgery. We can remove its recurrent tendency.
They can involve congenital or acquired dysfunction of the urinary system. As an example, urinary tract obstruction is a urologic disease that can cause urinary retention.
Diseases of other bodily systems also have a direct effect on urogenital function. For instance, it has been shown that protein released by the kidneys in diabetes mellitus sensitizes the kidney to the damaging effects of hypertension.
Diabetes also can have a direct effect in urination due to peripheral neuropathies, which occur in some individuals with poorly controlled blood sugar levels.
Another major and very embarrassing condition of the urinary tract would be involuntary urination or urinary incontinence, which can result from a weakening of the pelvic floor muscles caused by factors such as pregnancy, childbirth, aging, and being overweight. Pelvic floor exercises known as Kegel exercises can help in this condition by strengthening the pelvic floor. In children, the condition is called enuresis. We can treat this condition with homoeopathy, by treating the underlying cause of the problem whether it is physical, emotional, stress or other factors.
In a male, in old age, prostate enlargement give very discomfort as the need to go for frequent urination. Homoeopathy can help you to treat this problem with any surgery.
Some cancers also target the urinary system, including bladder cancer, kidney cancer, ureteral cancer, and urethral cancer.
Due to the role and location of urinary organs, treatment is often complicated, so in homoeopathy, the importance given not only to local problems but we also try to understand the problem as a whole which is more required in case of urological disease gives you long-lasting cure with some lifestyle changes.
