Did you know that more than 150 million people around the world experience UTIs every year? These infections usually start in the bladder or urethra. However, if ignored or not appropriately treated, they can spread to the kidneys, resulting in a severe condition called pyelonephritis. Therefore, it’s essential to recognise the signs that indicate a UTI has spread to the kidneys.
ANF Therapy®️ is the newest treatment for urinary tract infections, even if they have spread to your kidneys. It targets the root cause by supporting the body’s natural healing with frequencies. It aims to promote faster recovery without medications or invasive procedures. Safe for all ages, it helps prevent recurrent infections and boost overall wellness.
9 signs your UTI has spread to kidneys
If you notice that your symptoms are getting worse and more severe, this could indicate something is serious. Here are the main signs that your UTI has spread to your kidneys:
1. Flank pain
Flank pain is often one of the first signs of a kidney infection. This pain occurs on one side of your body, specifically between your ribs and hips. You may feel a sharp pain or a dull ache in this area. The pain can intensify when you move, bend, or touch the area.
2. Fever and chills
A fever often accompanies kidney infections. If your body temperature is above 100.4°F (38°C), your body is fighting an infection. In addition, you may also experience chills, which can cause shivering or feelings of cold despite having a fever.
3. Nausea and vomiting
Feeling nausea is a common symptom of kidney infection. So, if you feel nauseous or vomit, it could be a sign that UTI has spread to your kidneys. This is your sign to seek medical treatment the right way.
4. Loss of appetite
Appetite loss can also signify that the infection has spread to the kidneys. You might find that you don’t feel like eating or you don’t have food cravings. This change can further weaken your body’s defences and delay recovery.
5. Changes in urine
Changes in your urine also indicate the infection has reached your kidneys. You might notice that your urine looks darker or cloudier than usual. It may also have a strong odour, often due to bacteria in the urine, indicating an infection.
You might also notice blood in your urine, which can appear pink, red, or brown. This can be alarming and indicate that the infection is affecting your kidneys.
6. Frequent and Urgent Need to Urinate
While frequent urination is common with a UTI, it becomes even more frequent when the infection spreads. You may feel an intense and urgent need to urinate more often, even if only a small amount of urine comes out each time. This feeling can be uncomfortable and may come with dysuria, which means a burning sensation or pain while urinating.
7. Generalised fatigue
Feeling unusually tired or weak can be another sign that your UTI has spread to the kidneys. This fatigue is a natural response as the body works to combat the infection. Don’t ignore it if you feel exhausted and it’s affecting your daily activities.
8. Persistent back pain
Persistent back pain can also signal a kidney infection. This pain often feels deep and may spread to your lower back. It can feel like a constant ache or sharp pain, especially when you move or twist your body. If you have this kind of pain and other symptoms, it could mean your kidneys are involved.
9. Confusion & brain fog
Kidney infections can cause confusion or brain fog in severe cases, especially in older adults or people with weakened immune systems. You might feel disoriented, making it hard to focus or remember things. So, if you experience any combination of these symptoms, talk to your ANF Therapist and seek treatment with ANF Therapy®️ immediately.Treatment of Urinary Tract Infections with ANF Therapy®️:
ANF Therapy®️ is the newest treatment for urinary tract infections. It utilises small wearable ANF Devices with 3M antibacterial adhesive tape applied on the affected parts of your body. These devices use specific frequencies to activate the natural healing process in your body. Before starting the treatment protocol, your ANF therapist will take a history and perform a physical examination to confirm the diagnosis. This includes:
History:
During the history, they will ask about your symptoms, lifestyle, previous treatment, history of any other medical illness, and overall health.
Physical examination:
During physical examination, they will inspect your lower abdomen for abnormalities and then palpate for warmth and tenderness, especially in your lower abdomen, lower back, groin, and lymphatic system.
Application of ANF Devices:
After taking a history and performing a physical examination, your ANF Therapist will develop a treatment protocol based on your symptoms and the severity of the disease.
These devices activate your immune system to support your natural defence system against infections. The anti-inflammatory devices are applied to the affected areas, such as the suprapubic, lumbar, and lymph nodes. These devices reduce inflammation and alleviate your symptoms. Your ANF Therapist will also apply devices on your kidney and bladder to enhance their function and promote detoxification.
Hydration is also vital in managing UTI symptoms because it helps flush out harmful bacteria. Crank barry juice is also important because it prevents bacteria from attaching to the urinary tract.
Expected outcome:
Most patients feel quick relief within 10-60 minutes after applying ANF Devices. ANF Therapy®️ aims to relieve 50 percent of pain after the first session. The treatment outcome varies from person to person, depending on the underlying cause and severity of the disease.Follow-up:
After 72 hours, you will need to change ANF Devices. Your therapist will create a personalised treatment plan for you and educate you about these changes. They will also guide you about the total number of sessions required to treat your urinary tract infection completely.
