II. Kidney Stones

Kidney stones are one of the most common causes of blood in pee.

Kidney stones often go undiagnosed in people until they start to show

signs because there is no one singular reason why people develop these

stones. There are normally a number of factors that contribute to the

development of the kidney stones themselves. Included in these factors

are things such as diet. People that eat

poorly are more likely to develop these

painful kidney stones. When this is the

case one of the first signs that will be

visible is blood in the urine. If you have a family history of kidney stones

and are experiencing blood in the urine you may want to try out a few

home remedies to see if your symptoms can be alleviated. One of the

first things to do is to lower your vitamin c levels. Believe it or not, this

may allow you to see some relief almost immediately. Eat a bowl of

bran flakes in order to get rid of that calcium and increase the amount

of fiber in your diet. In addition, in order to alleviate blood in pee

caused by kidney stones you might want to simply try taking an anti-

inflammatory such as ibuprofen. This will help to eliminate any

inflammation and irritation that may be present. Finally, you will want

to limit how much salt you are eating as there is a relationship between

your sodium consumption and blood in the urine as it relates to kidney

stones.

warning signs. If you are lucky enough to spot blood in your pee you

may be getting an early indication that you, in fact, do have a urinary

tract infection. In over ninety-percent of the cases the infection is

caused by bacteria that have invaded your urethra. When this happens

the infection can spread quickly all the

into the kidneys. Because of this, it is

important to begin a course of

treatment as soon as you may suspect

an infection. The best home remedy for

this type of infection is drinking a lot of

cranberry juice and a modified diet. The

cranberry juice is useful because the

anti-oxidants that it contains will help to fight off any unwanted

bacteria that may be present in the urethra. In addition, it is not harsh

on the bladder. Beverages such as coffee will irritate the bladder thus

causing more pain in many instances. Cranberry juice will not cause any

lowering the amount of meat that you eat. Instead opt for fruits

and vegetables.
