Frequent back pain is due to poor kidney function. Quickly tonifying the kidney in one minute in the morning

Q: I often feel low back pain recently, sometimes unbearable. Some people say this is kidney stone, while others say it is nephritis. May I ask what exactly is going on? What should I do?

Answer: There are many reasons for low back pain, among which the most common are benign diseases such as lumbar muscle strain and bone hyperplasia, which are often related to maintaining a consistent posture and lumbar muscle fatigue. Urinary system diseases, such as ureteral calculi, may also cause low back pain, mainly manifested as unbearable colic. In addition, kidney tumors may also cause low back pain, usually manifested as dull pain in internal organs that cannot be clearly localized.

Frequent back pain is due to poor kidney function

The kidney is located in the posterior abdominal cavity of the human body, and renal tumors occur from epithelial cells in the renal tubules and gradually grow. When it invades the renal pelvis, hematuria may occur; When the lesion penetrates the renal capsule and invades the surrounding fat and even adjacent organs, it can cause low back pain. If the tumor does not grow to a certain extent, there may also be no pain symptoms. Once the pain has been caused by stimulation of the capsule or muscles, the condition may have progressed more severely. In the urology clinic, more than half of the patients were diagnosed with renal cancer not because of low back pain, but because they had no obvious symptoms and were accidentally found in the usual physical examination.

It is recommended that you go to the hospital in time. If you can rule out lumbar muscle strain and other problems, go to the urology department for further examination to see if it is a urinary tract stone. If a kidney tumor is suspected, clinical diagnosis can be made by performing only one CT scan or abdominal ultrasound. Once the cause is identified, formal treatment should be promptly received.

Be alert to several signs of kidney failure

1. Edema. The kidney is the organ that excretes water in the human body. If the kidney is not good, excess water will accumulate in the body. Early onset patients often experience edema of the eyelids, face, and lower limbs, leading to persistent or systemic edema. In severe cases, pleural effusion and ascites may occur.

2. Poor appetite. When there is a problem with renal function, toxins such as creatinine and urea gradually accumulate in the human body and stimulate the gastrointestinal tract, leading to loss of appetite, foul smell of urine in the mouth, tongue and oral mucosal ulcers, upper abdominal fullness, nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, and gastrointestinal bleeding. This is even the first symptom of many kidney disease patients when seeking medical treatment.

3. Skin itching. When kidney function is incomplete, toxins such as urea nitrogen and creatinine cannot be fully discharged from the body, leading to the deposition of urea cream and calcium salts in the skin. Skin itching often occurs, accompanied by darkening, dryness, dullness, and yellowing of facial skin.

4. Symmetrical skin bleeding points. Symmetrical skin bleeding points appear at the distal end of the limbs, protruding from the surface of the skin and not fading. Especially when hematuria, edema, and elevated blood pressure occur on this basis, it is necessary to check for kidney damage.

5. Anemia. Impaired renal function may lead to shortened red blood cell lifespan, reduced secretion of erythropoietin, and poor bone marrow hematopoietic function. At the same time, due to the reduced absorption of iron and folic acid by the intestine, the level of red blood cells in the body decreases, leading to anemia.

Teach you the 1-minute quick kidney tonifying method in the morning

Many people often feel dizzy and heavy after waking up, feeling weak all over, and sometimes even tinnitus in their ears. At this point, it is advisable to flick the back of the head, as it will have unexpected effects.

Some important acupoints in the human body are distributed on the back of the brain. Regular massage and tapping can alleviate fatigue, prevent dizziness, promote hearing, and prevent tinnitus. There are three specific operating methods.

Firstly, press the outer auditory meatus of both ears tightly with the palms of both hands, and gently tap the occipital bone behind the head with the index, middle, and ring fingers of both hands. Then cover the outer ear canal with your palm, press your fingers tightly against the occipital bone behind your head without moving, and quickly lift them away. At this moment, there is a sound of gunfire in your ears. Repeat this process 5-10 times, 2-3 times a day. Fang Cunzhong, associate professor of the Department of Tuina Orthopaedics and Traumatology at the China Academy of Chinese Medical Sciences, said in an interview: "The ear covering and tapping during practice can stimulate the ears, stimulate the brain nerves, and play the role of hearing and seeing." This action can be done after getting up, before going to bed, or when you are free at ordinary times.

Secondly, use the belly of one hand's thumb to tightly press the fingertip or back of the other finger, and the buttoned finger will forcefully slide off and pop out, making the back of the finger exert force, which can effectively alleviate fatigue.

Thirdly, when tapping, press the palms of both hands tightly against both ears, and gently flick the back of the head with three fingers (index finger, middle finger, ring finger). This method can stimulate the acupoints around the auricle, prevent dizziness, tinnitus, and promote hearing.

In addition, traditional Chinese medicine also believes that the kidney opens the ear. Therefore, this exercise can also achieve the effect of regulating and tonifying the kidney, strengthening the foundation and strengthening the kidney. Elderly people may wish to do more.
