Renal colic. Symptoms and Treatment
If you woke up in the morning, you feltdiscomfort and found that you had swelling of the face or limbs, then there is no doubt that the kidneys rebelled and could not process the entire volume of fluid that is in your body. And this means that renal colic may occur at any time.
Its main distinguishing feature isthat at any position of the body, the pain does not subside. Renal colic begins without any preliminary urges, with acute pain localized in the lumbar region and lower back (directly where the paired organ - kidneys is located). Over time, its location may change. Many patients complain that often pain is given to the ribs, to the groin and genitals. Also, signs that you have renal colic may be:
- increased body temperature;
- strongly cutting sensations in the region of the kidney (or problem kidney);
- nausea, vomitive reflexes;
- frequent urge to urinate;
- stitching or other unpleasant sensations in the discharge of urine;
- the presence of blood in the urine (even in minimal amounts).
People who have never had any problems withurinary system, it is difficult to understand even by such symptoms that it is a question of colic in the kidneys. Moreover, such feelings can occur in intestinal colitis.
Emergency care for renal colic
If you found the abovesymptoms, then promptly call for an ambulance. Specialists after the examination will be able to diagnose and give you drugs (analgesics, atropine), which will ease the pain. While waiting for doctors who can not always come in the shortest possible time, help yourself, namely:
- take a warm bath;
- Warm the lower back and the kidney area with warmers.
If this attack you have not the first time, and haveyou have broken the work of the kidneys, then for sure you already know how to remove the pain. Nevertheless, if the funds prescribed by the doctor do not help and do not alleviate the symptoms, then it is also best to contact the Ambulance.
How is renal colic eliminated?
Symptoms and treatment.After you are examined by a specialist and convinced that it really is about colic in the kidneys, you will be prescribed treatment. It begins with the relief of pain, that is, with anesthetics. The most effective drug is "Baralgin". Litic mixtures are used in the hospital hospital. After the painful sensations recede, the diagnosis of the kidneys begins, that is, the cause of their incorrect work. Most often this is due to the presence of stones and a tumor that interferes with the normal circulation of urine in the pelvis. Renal colic, the symptoms and treatment of which we examined earlier, is eliminated only after the elimination of the underlying cause, that is, after the normal functioning of the paired organ.
