Get Rid of Kidney Stones Naturally

Kidney stone is a hidden health denger.Kidney stones are hard stone like masses that are formed out of crystals found in the urine. Most of the time these crystals pass through the urine with out ever being noticed, but they can build up inside the kidneys and form much larger stones. Kidney stones are often painless when they are in the kidney, but they can cause severe pain when they travel from the kidney to bladder. If a kidney stone becomes large enough to block the flow of urine, it can cause pressure, severe pain and infection. If a stone moves out of the kidney with the flow of urine, it normally causes severe pain as it moves through the ureters. If the stone gets stuck, a serious infection can occur. Kidney stones can cause permanent damage to the kidneys.

Types of Stones-There are several different types of kidney stones. They include following forms

Calcium stones - are the most common types of kidney stones. These stones are formed when the individual has an excessive amount of vitamin D, overactive parathyroid glands, or the individual has certain diseases such as saracoidosis, cancer or certain types of kidney diseases.
Struvite stones - are most often found in women and are caused by an excess of ammonia in the urine.
Cystine stones - are caused by cystinuria a hereditary disorder found in approximately 1% of men and women
Uric acid stones - are caused by an excess of uric acid. This is caused by eating a lot of meat, gout, and sometimes chemotherapy.

Symptoms -The symptoms of kidney stones includes pain in one or both sides of the back, bloody and cloudy urine, nausea, vomiting, a frequent urge to urinate, burning sensation during urination, fever and chills.

Diagnosis-Kidney stones are diagnosed through several methods including blood tests, urine analysis, x-rays, IVU, ultrasound, and sometimes by a simple examination.
Kidney stone treatments vary according to the type of stone and cause of formation. Small stones that are not causing symptoms, obstruction and/or infection do not normally need to be treated.

Prevention-Drinking plenty of fluids increases the urine production and helps to get rid of the stones. No other treatment is needed once a stone is passed. Stones that are larger or that do not respond to the above treatment will need to be treated medically. These procedures normally require lasers and surgery that can be expensive.

Dangers Generated From Smoking

"Smoking is Injurious to Health"; this is the caution advice that we read on all cigarettes packets. Still we go ahead to take that puff of ecstasy. Why? Are we trying to be ignorant or is it something else. Tobacco intake is the single most preventable cause of premature death in today’s times. Tobacco or nicotine is the chemical that narrows our blood vessels thereby reducing the life giving air that we intake, which in turn forces us to fight for that extra air.

Why we are drawn towards smoking The younger generation of today’s times is the one, which is the most stricken by this deadly disease. The biggest reason for which is they are in a haste to prove them selves to be grownups and mature. A 13 yr old boy standing in the streets with his friends puffing the circles of smoke in air, feels he is mature and big enough to take his decisions and thinks that now it is that he has broken free from the shackles of his parents boundations which say that "smoking is injurious to health". He does so in pure enjoyment and fun, not realizing that he is indeed letting the shackles of a deadly disease trap him and is not in fact breaking free from any.

Hey! Boy, QUIT SMOKING, or else soon you will be in the clutches of the deadly disease. Ill effects of smoking It is smoking that triples the risk of dying from various heart diseases, bronchitis and emphysema. It is smoking that leads to asthma and lung cancer in many people. It is smoking that makes a person baffle for air 3 times more that a non-smoker.

Smoking makes you weak and unfit for athletics and various other sports. Smoking makes people avoid you because it makes your hair and clothes stink. It stains your teeth and you have bad breath. Your lips are often cracked and you look pale. Is that what you call looking mature. No. So quit smoking because it will do no good to you. Smoking is a contagious disease because it not only weakens it victim but also those who are around him.

This is better known as passive smoking where the smoke puffed out by a smoker does harm to the lungs and chest of the person who inhales that air. It is thus the need of the hour that we should take up the matter seriously and do something constructive to free our society from the grips of this deadly disease.
