Kidney Stones In Women

By J. Johnson


It was once thought that kidney stones occurred mostly in men, however, nowadays, cases of kidney stones in women are on the rise. Over the past few years the incidence of the kidney stones in women is increasing. This has happened because of the wrong lifestyle of today.

Strutuvite kidney stone cases in the women are increasing these days. They occur due to the chronic bacterial infection of the urinary tract. Chronic bacterial infection of the urinary tract is the primary cause. Among the reasons, diet, which are rich in calories and have lower proportions of proteins, vitamins, minerals, etc.

Kidney stones is a disease in which stones occur in the kidneys. These stones are the aggregates of foreign particles and some waste materials from the body and dead cells. It is important that the kidney stones be detected during the initial stages. Otherwise, they may be fatal. In most cases, the kidney stones consist of calcium aggregates. The occurrence of the stones is highest in the women taking supplements of calcium.

Another factor that is responsible for the higher occurrence of kidney stones in women, is the consumption of beverages and other alcoholic products. Women are more sensitive to them then men are.

The common symptom of kidney stones is the pain in the lower abdomen during menstruation. However, this pain is very mild and therefore most of the time it remains undetected. However, if at the same time they experience some urinary problems such as pain during urination, change in color of urine, blood in urine, or disorders and other symptoms such as dullness, fever, nausea or vomiting and if no other reason is found for these, then kidney stones may be the reason.

Therefore, ideally, whenever these symptoms occur unexplainably, then this is a thing to worry. Then the reason for them to occur may be internal, therefore these should be taken seriously. As some serious disease may have occurred in the body and it may possibly be kidney stones.

If the menstrual pain persists even after the menstruation or even if it is abnormal, then there may be something wrong in the internal system of the body, most likely the kidneys.

Kidney stones are a serious disease, which can cause complications such as infections, blockages, inflammation and eventually they may lead to death. They should be removed from the body as soon as they are detected.

The uriflow is one of the treatments commonly used for kidney stones. Taken orally, this treatment contains substances, which have properties through which they can dissolve the kidney stones. They dissolve the kidney stones and then the stones are removed from the body through the urine. Aiding in the removal of the kidney stones from the body and in relieving the body from pain, are the other drugs that are used in the uriflow treatment.
