Kidneys: psychosomatics of diseases. Why do kidney stones appear?

Today, the world continues to trend towards “rejuvenation” and an increase in the prevalence of many kidney diseases. Along with the traditional causes of pathology described in medical textbooks, there are less obvious, but no less significant factors. Does kidney psychosomatics exist, and what personal qualities can lead to health problems: let's figure it out.

Glomerulonephritis – what is it?

A disease such as glomerulonephritis is not at all uncommon. But it mainly affects children aged five to twelve years.

This disease is associated with a number of kidney pathologies and varies depending on the course. The disease affects the glomeruli of the kidneys, and if the form is advanced, then the interrenal tissue and tubules.

Glomerulonephritis is an acquired disease.

There are several stages of the disease:

• Spicy. The onset is sudden and can become chronic.
• Chronic. With it, seasonal remissions and exacerbations are often observed.
• Subacute (malignant). The course occurs quickly and is characterized by severe complications.

Features of the disease

In medicine, kidney stones are called calculi. This disease, as we have already said, is considered the most common among all those related to the genitourinary system. In women, this pathology is more complicated than in men. Severe forms are also very often observed, in which stones affect the entire kidney area. Experts have named this pathology coral nephrolithiasis.

By age category, the disease covers everyone, from children to the elderly. Of course, the disease rarely manifests itself in the younger generation. Most often it affects people of working age, and occurs in an acute form and often with severe complications.

Basically, the pathology affects only one of the kidneys, but there are statistics that stones can occur in both. In this case, the mechanism of water retention and metabolic processes is significantly disrupted. Doctors call this pathology “bilateral urolithiasis.” In addition, kidney stones can be single, or they can accumulate in large quantities.

What does Louise Hay say?

Another representative of the direction of psychosomatics is the American psychologist Louise Hay. In her opinion, diseases are always primarily caused by physiological factors, but mental and emotional disorders can accelerate such destructive processes.

As for the kidneys, according to the psychologist, psychological disorders such as:

• frequent falling into a state of anger;
• non-acceptance of criticism from the outside (even if it is objective) and the anger arising from this;
• poor relationships with loved ones, causing a decline in mood;
• severe disappointments;
• feelings of shame and awareness of some failures (people can sometimes carry such emotions with them throughout their lives).

According to Hay's theory, getting rid of pathologies in such cases is not so difficult: it is enough to admit the existence of a problem and eliminate it. What is necessary is recognition, not definition, since in most cases a person sees the problem himself, but it is often possible to solve it only with the help of psychologists.

Psychosomatic causes of major renal diseases

At the root of the development of psychosomatic kidney diseases, according to experts, lie the following emotions:

• deep disappointment;
• feeling of failure;
• hatred and anger;
• strong resentment;
• internal criticism towards oneself;
• envy of the success of others.

Some psychologists are of the opinion about the kidney side. The right psychosomatic kidney is associated with the desires and will of a person, while the left one is associated with the emotional state.

Kidney pathologies are directly related to the feeling of toxicity in the body. Thus, disorders of the excretory system can also appear in mothers for whom the baby is unwanted. In this case, mothers feel their child as something poisoning their body.

Kidney pain: psychosomatics

Louise Hay in her writings connects pathologies of the excretory organs with feelings of disappointment and shame, sometimes anger and fear. At the same time, a person reacts to failures and criticism like a small child. Physiologically, the kidneys remove waste and toxic substances from the body.

Psychologists believe that they also cleanse us of negative emotions. If we cannot part with old grievances, do not accept the situation, partners, criticize ourselves and others, then the kidneys react to this with diseases. The metaphysics of kidney pathology depends on the specific disease and situation.

The influence of mental factors on the development of kidney diseases

The article was checked by a site expert: Svetlana Yakutina

Translated from Greek, the term “psychosomatics” means “soul” and “body”. Relatively recently, a new direction has appeared in medicine that studies the influence of psychological factors on the development of certain diseases. Research in this area has shown that more than 50% of all diseases are caused by psychological problems.

The psychosomatics of kidney disease is associated with a person’s complexness, with his inability or unwillingness to share his problems with others. Inflammation of the kidneys can be caused by any of your own problems, a tense state, or internal stiffness.

Treatment methods

For healing, it is necessary to get rid of the ghosts of the past, work through psychotraumas, and eliminate post-traumatic syndrome. This can only be done with the help of a psychotherapist.

Pain in the kidneys indicates that the person was unable to accept the traumatic event and adapt to new conditions. It is necessary to accept the experience of the past and learn to live with it.

To do this, you need to reassess values ​​and set life priorities. In addition, it is important to work through old grievances, forgive others and yourself. You need to love yourself and your life.

Sometimes a complete change in lifestyle and worldview is indicated.

What qualities do you need to cultivate in yourself to get rid of kidney pain:

• simplicity,
• kindness,
• confidence,
• openness,
• tolerance,
• sociability.

The goal of psychotherapy is to achieve complete acceptance and peace, satisfaction from life. It is necessary to find balance and harmony in different areas of life. You need to enjoy your work and the relationships you are in. Perhaps during the correction process you will have to break up with someone, change your social circle or place of residence. This must be done if your health depends on it.

It is important! Kidney diseases require not only psychological treatment, but also drug therapy. And in some cases, surgical intervention is indicated. It is important to remember that psychosomatic illnesses need to be treated comprehensively. Medicine without psychotherapy will not give the desired effect. And psychotherapy without medicine can lead to complications and death.

How to avoid problems?

According to the principles of psychosomatics, drug treatment is not necessary to eliminate kidney problems. First of all, a person needs to identify his psychological problems and at the same time try to get rid of negative emotions.

This often requires a reassessment of one’s life priorities and sometimes a complete restructuring of one’s idea of ​​life. This can be achieved either by working with psychologists, or by practicing meditation, art therapy, or just your favorite hobby.

Although this approach sometimes works, we should not forget that kidney problems are primarily physiological pathologies that require drug treatment or surgical intervention.

Distributing priorities exclusively in favor of psychosomatic practices while neglecting the methods of traditional medicine can lead to negative complications and, in the worst case, death .

Louise Hay will tell you how to heal yourself from psychosomatic diseases in a video clip:

• Kidney disease is caused by a combination of emotions such as criticism and condemnation, anger and anger, resentment and hatred with intense disappointment and a sense of failure. Such people think that they are eternal losers and do everything wrong. They often experience chronic feelings of guilt and shame.
• Fear of the future, for one’s financial situation, despondency and reluctance to live in this world always affect the kidneys.
• Since the kidneys maintain the volume and pressure of fluids in the human body, problems with them indicate an imbalance in emotional balance. The person exhibits a lack of judgment or inability to make decisions in meeting his or her needs. Typically, this is a very emotional person who worries excessively about others, forgetting about himself (rather, “wasting” himself on others).

Kidney dysfunction also indicates that a person feels insufficiently capable or even powerless in his field of activity (what he was doing during the period in which the kidneys became ill) or in relationships with another person. In difficult situations, he often has a feeling that what is happening is unfair. It could also be a person who is too influenced by others and neglects his own interests in an effort to help those people. He is generally not able to understand what is good for him and what is bad.

• He tends to idealize situations and people, so he experiences great disappointment when his expectations are not met. In case of failure, he tends to criticize situations and other people, accusing them of injustice. The life of such a person very rarely turns out well, since he places too high hopes on other people.

In order for your kidneys to always be healthy, you need to monitor the purity of your thoughts. Eliminate anger from your life. Stop feeling like a victim.

Kidney stones are materialized aggressive emotions that a person has suppressed and accumulated over the years. These are clots of unresolved anger, fears, feelings of disappointment and failure. An unpleasant aftertaste from some events. And renal colic is irritation, impatience and dissatisfaction with others that have reached their peak.

As a rule, stones appear in people who have been harboring some difficult thoughts or feelings associated with aggression, dissatisfaction, envy, jealousy, etc. for a long time. A person cherishes these thoughts secretly from others, and for quite a long time, since the formation of stones takes time. Stones are also often formed in cold, rigid people who bottle up their feelings.

If a person is a stumbling block both to himself and to others, then stones will form within him.”

Psychologically, such a person is a stubborn dogmatist, firmly holding to his once chosen worldview, despite the obvious ossification of his prejudices. The energy-informational processes of such a person are slow and viscous, and in this viscosity, “traffic jams” and clumps of “subtle” matter are first formed, and then “building materials” are deposited on them on the physical plane.

And renal colic

- this is irritation, impatience and dissatisfaction with others, reaching its peak.

Urinary tract inflammation, urethritis, cystitis

• Irritation and anger towards the opposite sex or sex partner lead to inflammation of the urinary tract.
• Anxiety and worry can also affect the development of urinary tract diseases.

Any Emotions are reflected within each person in their own way (for each, based on your personal perception of reality. For another person, the same events will cause completely different emotions and impressions). All the negativity that arose from these emotions was suppressed due to upbringing - you cannot throw it out on others, you cannot express it out loud, and others cannot ... was suppressed and, due to its origin, was reflected in the kidneys. This happened repeatedly and rocks formed.

What events these are and what emotions only you can answer.

Modern medicine considers one of the main causes of kidney disease to be an infection that has penetrated either into the patient’s genitourinary system itself, or “lives” in other organs and negatively affects the kidneys. But this raises the question: why do some patients “catch” this infection, while others, who are in the same conditions with them, remain healthy? Viruses and bacteria are everywhere. But the internal state of people is different for everyone. Healers have found that the cause that weakens the immune system and opens the door to infection is a person’s fears and deep-seated emotions.

Self-help methods for relieving kidney problems

It is important to understand that in the case of a psychosomatic etiology of a kidney disease, the traditional approach to treatment will not give any result. In the best case, a person will be able to relieve the symptoms, but will not solve the entire problem. Therefore, it is so important to seek help from a qualified psychotherapist who can create a program individually tailored to the client’s request.

Experienced psychologists are confident that a person with healthy kidneys should have the following qualities:

• the ability to forgive and ask for forgiveness from others without focusing on grievances;
• do not be afraid to trust other people and, first of all, yourself;
• accept yourself with all your strengths and weaknesses;
• don't be afraid of mistakes;
• enjoy life and smile more often;
• be independent without hurting other people's feelings.

You can develop these traits on your own by regularly going out into nature, practicing meditation and creative therapy (dancing, drawing, singing). An excellent option for strengthening willpower would be sports. Jogging, cycling, swimming - any type of sports activity perfectly motivates and inspires new victories.

We should not forget that the main cause of psychosomatic disorders is internal disharmony. Only achieving a balance between soul and body can help where medicine cannot cope.

How to cure kidneys without drugs

If the main cause of kidney disease is psychosomatics, approaches to its treatment will differ significantly from traditional ones. It is important to identify the root cause of the pathology - negative emotions and experiences that a person may not even be fully aware of. Not everyone can cope with this task on their own, so at this stage you may need the help of a qualified psychologist.

After finding out the cause of the disease, the stage of psychocorrection begins: it is important to work through all negative emotions, throw them out and truly let them go. Remember that anger and resentment destroy, first of all, their carrier, and creative emotions are love for life and forgiveness.

Experts call the personal qualities that a person with healthy kidneys should have:

• simplicity;
• openness;
• agreeableness;
• pacification;
• satisfaction;
• Adoption;
• confidence.

Not only working with a psychologist will help you find them, but also meditative practices, communication with nature and animals, art therapy (drawing, sculpting), sports, dancing, and support from loved ones.

According to experts, the more pronounced the pathological process in the kidneys, the more decisive a person should become. It is important to achieve a balance between the physical and emotional spheres of your own life, because imbalance is the main cause of the disease. With the help of psychotherapy, patients achieve harmony and satisfaction with life, and then stable remission of existing diseases of the urinary system.

One kidney

Not so often, but still there are situations when a person has only one part of an organ - right or left, and psychosomatics experts associate this phenomenon with previous lives. The absence of the left kidney may be due to nerves - severe depressive states associated with emotional or thought processes.

Kidney treatment is a complex process, including effects on the physical shell and mental matter. And in order for a person to get rid of diseases, it is important not only to take medications, but also a detailed analysis of psychosomatics, as a result of which the root cause of the disease is identified.

Psychological causes of kidney diseases

Any disease is associated with specific physiological and psychological factors. Below are the reasons for the development of commonly diagnosed renal pathologies caused by mental disorders.

1. Pyelonephritis. Psychologists say that this disease appears in patients who do not like their work. When a person treats his work with rejection and disgust for a long time, he can become a victim of destruction of the tissue of the renal pelvis. Psychosomatics explains this by saying that a person simply has no patience left.
2. Urolithiasis disease. A kidney stone is a reflection of negative feelings that cannot find a way out. Some psychosomatics experts believe that sand in the urinary organ appears when the patient cannot get a painful event out of his head and constantly experiences it in his mind.
3. Vascular pathologies of the kidneys. Healthy renal vessels are observed in people who are optimists. The vascular system of the right kidney functions well when a person has a strong will. The vessels of the left kidney are in order when a person has a soft, flexible and optimistic character. In an aggressive and callous individual, the vessels are brittle and inelastic. And a weak-willed and soft-bodied person may develop varicose veins of the renal veins. Blues are a provocateur of a decrease in vascular tone, and excessive cheerfulness is a causative agent of vascular hypertonicity.
4. Infectious pathologies. Inflammation of the kidneys and urinary tract is caused by the patient's inability to forgive. If a person refuses to come to terms with the circumstances and forgive the offense, then he opens the way for infection to the kidney tissue and ureters. Deep resentment negatively affects the immune system, making it difficult for the body to fight the inflammatory response. A fistula in the ureter forms in a stern and angry person. Renal colic is a consequence of arrogant behavior.
5. Kidney cancer. Oncological disease is observed in patients with a special character. Such people desperately try to look as kind, comfortable, decent as possible in the eyes of those around them, and carefully hide their true thoughts and feelings. The problem is that due to this behavior the patient's worldview is distorted. A sick person avoids conflicts, cannot refuse anyone, even if he knows that consent will harm him, and all because he is terribly afraid of the condemnation of others.
6. Cyst. It is a consequence of mental torment that the patient cannot tell others about. Experiences sit deep in the soul, it is extremely difficult to get rid of them. Also, a cyst in the kidney tissue can form due to resentment towards a person with whom it is high time to make peace.
7. Functional pathologies of the kidneys. Kidney failure is a sign that depression has been going on for too long. Prolapse and other functional and physical disorders of the kidneys are caused by mistrust, suspicion, inability and reluctance to contact with society.
8. Kidney agenesis. This is a developmental defect in which a person has only one kidney. From a psychosomatic point of view, the cause of such pathology should be sought in past lives. If the right or left part of the organ is missing, then in a previous incarnation the patient suffered from deep depression. The embryo, on a subtle level, remembers the negative state it had in a past life, and as a result, one of its kidneys stops developing.

Psychosomatics: scientific facts and doctors’ opinions

So, psychosomatic diseases are pathologies whose root cause is not physical, but psychological factors. It is believed that long-term stress, depression, resentment and sadness, which a person hides deep inside himself, “poison” the body and develop into a very real disease. In other words, psychosomatics studies negative emotions that a person has not been able to cope with.

The kidneys are a paired organ with a complex functional structure and a variety of functions. The slightest pathology in them leads to gross disruptions in the functioning of the entire organism. What are the psychosomatic causes of kidney disease?

A specialist in psychology and psychosomatics, Liz Burbo, argues that interruptions in the functioning of the urinary organs may be associated with:

disturbances of the emotional background - increased receptivity and sensitivity of the patient, blocking of anger, sadness, resentment and other negative emotions; dissatisfaction with one's own life - a person is not satisfied with his chosen specialty, unloved job, spouse; unjustified hopes that the patient places on others.

The famous esotericist and writer Louise Hay also associates kidney pathology with an imbalance between emotions and control. In her book you can find mention of the following possible causes of urinary organ diseases:

inability to accept criticism addressed to oneself; disappointments suffered; shame experienced; resentment towards parents; carefully suppressed anger.

And according to psychologists B. Baginski and Sh. Shalila, psychosomatic kidney diseases are reflected in the patient’s relationship with his partner. According to this hypothesis, problems with the urinary system arise with a growing feeling of deep dissatisfaction with a lover. For example, kidney stones are a consequence of unspoken aggression, and infection is a desire to shift responsibility to someone else.

The works of Oleg Torsunov trace the influence of mental activity on kidney function. The doctor believes that damage to the right kidney may be caused by problems with a person’s volitional qualities, and damage to the left kidney by negative thoughts and emotions.

Most scientists agree on one thing: the condition of the kidneys, like any other internal organ, is influenced by a person’s personal characteristics. Qualities that increase the risk of developing the disease include:

The ability to complicate things. “We are not looking for easy ways” is the real motto of kidney patients. Emotional restraint, the habit of keeping everything to oneself. Closedness. Distrust of others, inability to find a common language with them.

Psychosomatic causes of the most common diseases

• Pyelonephritis - according to psychosomatic analysis, such patients are forced to engage in work that gives them a lot of unpleasant sensations, does not bring satisfaction, and they have to act “according to orders.”
• Kidney stones - some unpleasant events have left an indelible imprint on the memory and soul; kidney stones are a kind of concentrate of negative impressions. Also, urates and oxalates formed as a result of kidney stones can personify petrified aggression present in partnerships.
• Depletion of kidney vessels - more often occurs in people with a tough character, who see only negative aspects in life.
• Inflammation of the ureters - more often appears in people who are not inclined to easily forgive others.

Causes of stones

A person who is affected by this disease is naturally interested in the question, what causes kidney stones? The reasons may be varied. Some experts are of the opinion that stones appear due to congenital characteristics of the body.

That is, at birth a certain program is laid into the body, and if it fails, then metabolic processes are disrupted. Accordingly, the kidneys can no longer function normally, and salt crystals accumulate in them.

The chemical composition of stones may vary significantly from person to person, but the mechanism remains the same. Insoluble salts subsequently form into sand, and then into pebbles. There are a number of metabolic disorders that lead to their appearance. So, it may turn out to be a high level of certain compounds:

• uric acid in the blood;
• uric acid in urine;
• phosphate salts in urine;
• calcium salts in urine;
• oxalate salts in urine.

But this is only part of the reasons why stones may appear.

The role and functions of the kidneys in the body

As you know, kidneys are the most important filter in the human body. They remove the largest amount of toxic substances from the body. The main functions include the following:

• remove excessive excess water from the body;
• regulate blood volume and water balance;
• secrete active substances useful for physiology;
• participate in metabolic function;
• remove toxic substances from the body;
• regulate ion balance.

There is an opinion that kidney diseases appear in connection with psychological disorders. Due to the influence of negative factors, many other diseases develop. The reasons for this may be:

• overweight;
• abnormal nutrition;
• weak immunity;
• drinking bad water;
• alcohol abuse;
• untreated inflammatory processes in the body.

Exogenous and endogenous factors

Some doctors put forward the theory that the appearance of urolithiasis is associated not only with congenital factors, but also with the external environment. Also, one cannot ignore the influence of internal causes on the formation of the disease.

External causes that cause diseases:

climatic conditions; diet and drinking regime; geological features; chemical composition of water; influence of flora; lifestyle; working conditions.

One of the main external factors that affects kidney function is diet. If food and water are supplied in sufficient quantities, the body will function normally. It is very important that a person receives all micro- and macroelements, minerals and nutrients.

And the internal causes that cause the disease include:

genetic predisposition; lack or excess of certain enzymes; genitourinary tract infections; common infectious diseases; diseases of the gastrointestinal tract and liver; injuries; limited mobility

Characteristic personality traits affecting the kidneys

Kidney diseases with psychosomatic etiology are closely related to the character of the individual. The following list of character traits will help you understand which individuals are reliably protected from any problems with the urinary system, and which of them, on the contrary, are constantly at risk:

1. Simplicity in behavior. An individual who does not consider himself the “center of the universe” and knows how to build normal relationships with his environment will never suffer from kidney disease.
2. Excessive pride is a direct path to problems with the urinary system.
3. Inability to understand people, along with pathological gullibility, lead to inflammatory processes in the ureters.
4. The proper functioning of the kidneys directly depends on the sincerity of the individual. If an individual often hides something from relatives and friends, then problems with this organ are guaranteed.
5. Problems with the will can provoke sharp pain in the right kidney, and emotional frigidity can cause sharp pain in the left renal pelvis.
6. Complaisance and the ability to get along with others tones up the functioning of the kidneys, which reliably protects them from diseases.
7. Distrust and antipathy towards society can trigger a process of self-destruction in the kidneys, which is fraught with serious health problems.

What are kidneys

The psychosomatics of kidney disease will be incomprehensible without a general understanding of this organ. It is located at the end of the ribs and is palpated from the back, slightly above the lower back. The kidneys perform several functions: they remove metabolic products and carry out water exchange in the body. In addition, they play an important role in the nervous and reproductive systems.

You should know that improper water regime can destroy this organ and the urinary tract. This can be compared to poor nutrition, which causes great harm to the gastrointestinal tract.

Doctor of Psychological Sciences O.G. Torsunov notes in his theory that since the kidneys are a paired organ, thoughts and emotions greatly influence the left one, and desires and will influence the right kidney. That is, the theory says that if our desires are not fulfilled and our needs for something are not satisfied, this leads to inflammatory processes, and if a person is constantly under emotional stress and receives severe stress, he may experience pain in the kidneys.

Psychosomatics can thus provide a complete picture of the disease. If a person experiences positive emotions and stops suppressing his volitional qualities and freely expressing desires, this will lead to strengthening of blood vessels and good functioning of organs.
