Using a heating pad for pyelonephritis

Despite the popular belief that the kidneys need to be kept warm and that heat can alleviate symptoms in various pathological processes, the use of a heating pad for pyelonephritis is not at all so simple. The cause of pyelonephritis of the kidneys can be hypothermia of this organ or penetration into the kidneys of various pathogens in various ways. Heat is one of the main conditions for the reproduction of microorganisms. Even in the case of moderate inflammation, the use of a heating pad for pyelonephritis can enhance the growth of microorganisms, and in severe cases, it can also redistribute the infection from the pyelocaliceal zone to the renal parenchyma zone. Such processes lead to complication of therapy and most often translate acute pyelonephritis into a lifelong chronic form.

Also, warming up the kidneys with pyelonephritis can lead to such consequences as swelling of the organ due to an increase in its size, urinary retention in the urethra, an increase in pain in the kidneys, the onset of fever, and an increase in intoxication processes. That is why it is strictly forbidden to use a bath, a heating pad and other sources of heat in the acute form of pyelonephritis, and at the stage of remission in the chronic form, such treatment must be strictly coordinated with the attending physician.

The use of alternative methods of treatment for pyelonephritis helps to quickly get rid of not only the symptoms, but also the causes of the disease. The main rule in this case is not to neglect medications, use folk recipes only as additional or prophylactic agents, and be sure to consult a doctor before starting treatment on your own.
