Question:

Any natural cure for hydronephrosis(distented bladder) without surgery?


Answers:

Hydronephrosis (distended bladder)? Ummm .. well it is a dilation of the pelvis and calices of the kidney, due to an accumulation of urine.

Intestinal obstruction is the partial or complete blockage of the lumen of the small or large bowel. It's commonly a medical emergency. Complete obstruction in any part of the bowel, if untreated: can cause death within hours from shock and vascular collapse. Intestinal obstruction is most likely after abdominal surgery or in people with congenital bowel deformities.
Causes

Obstruction of the bowel may be caused by ileus -- in which the bowel doesn't function correctly but there is no "mechanical" (anatomic) problem -- or by mechanical causes. Paralytic ileus, also called pseudo-obstruction, is one of the major causes of obstruction in infants and children.

The causes of paralytic ileus may include the following:

* Medications, especially narcotics
* Intraperitoneal infection
* Mesenteric ischemia (decreased blood supply to the support structures in the abdomen)
* Injury to the abdominal blood supply
* Complications of intra-abdominal surgery
* Kidney or thoracic disease

Nonsurgical treatment may be attempted in some patients with partial obstruction, particularly those who suffer recurrent partial obstruction or who developed it after surgery or a recent episode of diffuse peritonitis.

Nonsurgical treatment usually includes decompression with an NG tube attached to low-pressure, continuous suction; correction of fluid and electrolyte deficits, administration of broad-spectrum antibiotics; and, occasionally, total parenteral nutrition. Rarely, a long nasointestinal tube is used for decompression.

Throughout nonsurgical treatment, the patient's condition must be closely monitored. If the condition fails to improve or deteriorates, surgery is required.

Another indication for nonsurgical treatment is nonmechanical obstruction from adynamic ileus (paralytic ileus). Most of these cases occur postoperatively and disappear spontaneously in 2 or 3 days. However, if the disorder doesn't resolve in 48 hours, treatment consists of decompression with an NG tube attached to low-pressure, continuous suction. Oral intake is restricted until bowel function resumes; then, the diet is gradually advanced.

In the patient with paralytic ileus, decompression occasionally responds to colonoscopy or rectal tube insertion. When paralytic ileus develops secondary another illness, such as severe infection or electrolyte, imbalance, the primary problem must also be treated. If conservative treatment fails, surgery is required.

In both surgical and nonsurgical treatment, drug therapy includes antibiotics and analgesics or sedatives, such as meperidine or phenobarbital (but not opiates because they inhibit GI motility).

Treatment:
If the condition gives rise to no special distress, it should be left alone. If it is due to calculus, massage of the kidney may dislodge it. The opening and draining of the sac is preferable to aspiration. Nephrectomy should not be undertaken till it is known that the other kidney is healthy.
