Symptoms and Natural Treatment
Excessive urination, burning urination, hesitancy, kidney pain, erectile dysfunction, and candida infections are all symptoms that something is going wrong with your urinary tract.
Most people are aware that their bodies are not trying to harm themselves. However, we need to understand why these symptoms came about. After all, these symptoms are just your body’s way of communicating there is a problem.
As a naturopathic physician, I believe this is an accumulation of different stresses that are placed on the body as we age. This can include the gradual decline in male/female hormones, infections, anatomy, stress, toxins, poor utilization of nutrients, etc. Just like a clogged sink, we need to turn the faucet off and remove the clog. This is when a combined natural approach comes into play. A balanced individualized meal plan, coupled with a few natural medications, can go a long way to reducing kidney, urinary, and prostate symptoms.
Common Kidney, Prostate and Urinary Tract Issues
-
Enlarged Prostate (BPH)
A prostate with an abnormal enlargement is known as BPH, or Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia. While BPH is a normal aspect of aging, symptoms can develop when the prostate becomes too large. Symptoms can include frequent urination, urgency to urinate, the inability to empty the bladder, and more.
-
Erectile Dysfunction (ED)
Erectile Dysfunction occurs when blood flow to the penis is compromised. The cause could be from a number of reasons from physical to emotional, but the key to proper treatment is to find the reason and treat it. Dr. Brody’s approach is to look at lifestyle factors, and find ways to make adjustments that can have short-term effects and long-term treatment.
-
Kidney Disease
The kidneys are our filtration system, build to remove waste from the body. Our kidneys are vital to our health, and as such we need to take proper measures to prevent and treat damage. Symptoms can include fatigue, high blood pressure, swelling in legs, lack of urinating, change in urine color, nausau and more. There are many types of kidney diseases, but they generally have similar symptoms. If you notice any of these symptoms, please check in with a naturopathic physician immediately.
-
Prostate Infections & Inflammation
With prostate infections and inflammation, Dr. Brody has found that when most men find an issue in this area they remain quiet and hope the issue passes. Whether it’s a change in urine color, a forked stream, difficult or painful urination, lower abdominal pain or a lump, these are issues that should be addressed sooner rather than later.
-
Yeast Infections (Candida)
Yeast infections can take place on your skin, in your digestive tract, or in the vaginal tract. Infections can happen anywhere the body touches the outside environment. Symptoms can include gas, bloating, painful urination, brain fog and more depending where the yeast infection occurs. Dr. Brody’s approach is to treat the body. He creates an environment that removes the yeast and strengthens the body to prevent the yeast from returning.
