1 00:00:00,00 --> 00:00:05,500 Music playing.. 2 00:00:05,600 --> 00:00:10,400 Namaskar, I, Vernica welcome you 3 00:00:10,500 --> 00:00:15,300 at Karma Ayurveda's YouTube channel where you can easily get all the important information related to the kidneys 4 00:00:15,400 --> 00:00:20,200 Today, we will tell you what kidney infection and kidney pain is. 5 00:00:20,300 --> 00:00:25,100 Like you know, the kidney performs important functions like any other organ of 6 00:00:25,200 --> 00:00:30,000 our body. The kidney excretes waste and toxic substances from the body along with the urine. 7 00:00:30,100 --> 00:00:34,900 Also, the kidneys, by regulating fluid quantity 8 00:00:35,000 --> 00:00:39,800 keeps our bone healthy. If your kidney gets damaged, there can be perhaps many reasons 9 00:00:39,900 --> 00:00:44,700 to this. Among those causes, kidney infection and kidney pain are also included. 10 00:00:44,800 --> 00:00:49,600 Now, we talk about information related to kidney infection and kidney pain. Kidney 11 00:00:49,700 --> 00:00:54,500 infection points towards the damaged kidney function. This is the result of urine infection and 12 00:00:54,600 --> 00:00:59,400 excess use of medications. Post urine infection, bacteria 13 00:00:59,500 --> 00:01:04,300 like E.coli enter the kidneys resulting in kidney infection. 14 00:01:04,400 --> 00:01:09,200 During urine infection, you get pain or burning sensation when passing the urine and 15 00:01:09,300 --> 00:01:14,100 if you have got a kidney infection, you may have pain in your kidneys. During Kidney infection 16 00:01:14,200 --> 00:01:19,000 you will feel pain or burning sensation and also 17 00:01:19,100 --> 00:01:23,900 protein or blood spots can be seen when urinating. Kidney infection causes kidney 18 00:01:24,000 --> 00:01:28,800 pain but mostly people confuse kidney pain with back pain 19 00:01:28,900 --> 00:01:33,700 and avoid it. Resultant, the problem turns life-threatening, and so does the risk of 20 00:01:33,800 --> 00:01:38,600 kidney failure. Now, let's talk about the possible causes of kidney pain. 21 00:01:38,700 --> 00:01:43,500 First, kidney pain can occur because of kidney stone or kidney 22 00:01:43,600 --> 00:01:48,400 infection. Due to the busy lifestyle, we do not consume excess fluid, and for this 23 00:01:48,500 --> 00:01:53,300 stones may develop in the kidneys, and you suffer kidney pain, which 24 00:01:53,400 --> 00:01:58,200 you tend to ignore because of back pain or get temporary relief taking medications. 25 00:01:58,300 --> 00:02:03,100 Taking excess painkillers frequently can alleviate your problem. If your 26 00:02:03,200 --> 00:02:08,000 diet has an excess amount of protein, spinach, and tomato, this can also point to kidney pain or kidney infection 27 00:02:08,100 --> 00:02:12,900 and intense your problem because their consumption leads to high uric acid. 28 00:02:13,000 --> 00:02:17,800 As a result, kidney function gets impaired. Second, 29 00:02:17,900 --> 00:02:22,700 only a few people know that our kidneys are located at the back, and the pain due to kidney 30 00:02:22,800 --> 00:02:27,600 infection is confused as back pain. The stone in the kidney 31 00:02:27,700 --> 00:02:32,500 is often located at the back, so patients confuse kidney pain with a kidney infection and kidney stone 32 00:02:32,600 --> 00:02:37,400 and start taking painkillers. For this, they get temporary relief only 33 00:02:37,500 --> 00:02:42,300 but the pain starts again. Taking painkillers without any prescription or knowing your problem can 34 00:02:42,400 --> 00:02:47,200 harm your kidneys even more. People confuse kidney pain as back pain and do not diagnose themselves which 35 00:02:47,300 --> 00:02:52,100 can lead to various serious conditions in the long run. Third, in kidney pain and back pain 36 00:02:52,200 --> 00:02:57,000 there is a subtle difference, such as you can tolerate back pain, but kidney pain cannot be sustained 37 00:02:57,100 --> 00:03:01,900 as it is intense. Back pain is widespread, while kidney pain is 38 00:03:02,000 --> 00:03:06,800 in a part of the back. Although, kidney pain is 39 00:03:06,900 --> 00:03:11,700 felt on one side of the back, it can be experienced on both sides also. 40 00:03:11,800 --> 00:03:16,600 For this, do not ignore frequent pain in your back and consult a doctor immediately 41 00:03:16,700 --> 00:03:21,500 and know your problem. Fourth, due to kidney stone 42 00:03:21,600 --> 00:03:26,400 also, you can suffer kidney infection. Due to stones in the kidneys 43 00:03:26,500 --> 00:03:31,300 you may feel pain in the back. There can be plenty of reasons to kidney stone, for instance, 44 00:03:31,400 --> 00:03:36,200 dehydration, increased uric acid level, excess consumption of vegetables and fruits that have seed in them 45 00:03:36,300 --> 00:03:41,100 such as tomato, eggplant, guava, okra, etc. Consuming such things 46 00:03:41,200 --> 00:03:46,000 can increase your risk of kidney stones. If you hold urine for any reason 47 00:03:46,100 --> 00:03:50,900 and this is a long-standing habit, you may have a kidney stone. Holding 48 00:03:51,000 --> 00:03:55,800 urine means it travels back to the kidneys while bacteria and waste may accumulate there. 49 00:03:55,900 --> 00:04:00,700 Due to this, you may get kidney infection and kidney stones. These are the two causes 50 00:04:00,800 --> 00:04:05,600 that become the reason for your kidney pain. Last, for any reason, 51 00:04:05,700 --> 00:04:10,500 any injury in the kidneys may result in tissue damage and bleeding.
