Many patients complain that their kidneys hurt. This symptom most often reports problems in the body. Usually, urolithiasis manifests itself with such sensations. Abnormal mobility of the kidneys is also possible. Blockage of the ureter with blood clots (with a tumor) is not excluded.
In a woman's body, the kidneys support a layer of fat behind the peritoneum in which they reside. If a young lady strives for the parameters of a top model and is too slim, then there are very few or no fat cells in her body. The kidneys have nothing to securely "fix" in, and this is the reason for their mobility.
If the kidneys hurt, this symptom may signal a kink in the ureter. Thin people can face stagnation of urine and pinching of blood vessels, which ultimately becomes the cause of hypertension. The most vulnerable position in this regard is in the right kidney, since the liver exerts additional pressure on it. This type of hypertension is not treated with conventional medicines.

With weak abdominal muscles, doctors advise wearing a bandage, putting it on before getting out of bed in the morning. It is worth remembering that he alth is much more important than imaginary beauty and fashion, which leads to malfunctions in the body.
