People are inherently resistant to getting professional assistance when it comes to restoring their health. I remember being scared at the thought of going to the hospital, so my resistance to professional treatment may have something to do with it.
Let me also make it clear that I'm not judging those who have the emotional resistance to getting professional assistance. I'd use it as a motivation to keep myself healthy and take preventive measures against any disease. I think you can even use this as a wake-up call, especially if you haven't been paying attention to your health.
Another thing that we have to consider is the cost that comes with consulting a doctor or getting some tests done. It's one of the things that I keep in mind whenever I get the urge to eat any food that's not good for my body.
When You Need To Get Professional Help
When you have kidney stones, you can still go for natural remedies or any treatment that are generally considered to be non-invasive. There are cases when merely drinking more water is enough to pass the stones. Unfortunately, the effectiveness of these alternative treatments are dependent on the size of the stones in the kidney. Typically, kidney stones that have the size of 6 mm or bigger would require surgery to pass. On the other hand, kidney stones that are 4 mm or smaller have a high chance of passing naturally.
Keep in mind that this is just a general recommendation. You still have to consult a professional to determine your chances of passing your kidney stones.
What if you need to have surgery done?
My main reason for creating this blog is to help people avoid surgeries. However, we don't live in an ideal world. There will be cases where the only sure way to get rid of kidney stones is surgery. Now, you can still push through with natural treatments and avoid surgery, but you might put yourself at the risk of having complications.
Having The Courage
There will always be situations in your life where you have to be courageous. The thought of having surgery is scary for most people. It's actually scary for me. However, you have to keep in mind that you have to save yourself and restore yourself for the sake of your loved ones. Even if you decide to avoid surgery, you will still need the emotional strength to do whatever you need to get yourself back in good shape.
I know that this is not an easy journey, so I'm inviting everyone who needs emotional support to get in touch with this community. You can comment below this post and share your thoughts and experience.
