Homeopathy in Renal care-
Homeopathy has an important role in affections of all parts of the urinary tract.
Urethral stricture-
Causes-recurrent or chronic infection of the urethra. It can occur in male and female patients, usually common in the adult population. Symptoms are – poor flow of urine, or retention, recurrent infections. This can result in bladder wall thickening and back pressure on kidneys. Homeopathy helps to reduce scar tissue in the urethra, which improves flow of urine and prevents complications.
Urinary tract infections-
These are common in all age groups and common in women/girls. Symptoms – pain/burning before, during and after urination, passing blood / mucus in urine, chills and fever. In diabetic patients, there may be pus cells and RBCs in urine that indicate kidney infection. Homeopathy helps to eliminate the infection by strengthening its immune mechanisms. The results are quick and long lasting.
Prostate enlargement-
Causes- Age related benign prostate hypertrophy. Others are infection, tumours or cancer. Symptoms – slow stream of urine or recurrent urination, or inability to void urine at all. It can lead to recurrent infection, and back pressure on kidneys. Homeopathic medicines can help to reduce the size of the prostate , reduce the retention of urine and to eliminate infections.
Retention of urine-
Obstruction at the outlet due to stricture/ tumour/prostate enlargement or loss of bladder muscle tone /paralysis of the bladder muscle are its causes. It may present as an inability to completely empty the bladder or to pass urine at all.Homeopathy stimulates the affected nerves and tones the bladder wall thus the basic cause of the problem is effectively resolved.
Renal Calculi-
Homeopathy is well known for fragmenting and expelling urinary calculi and helping to prevent the recurrence.
Renal Failure-
Homeopathy has great supportive medicines in maintaining and improving kidney function upto stage 3B renal failure. In end stage Homeopathy helps to improve quality of life.
Each case is studied holistically, to treat the problem from the roots.
