Your kidneys don’t give warnings until it’s too late. 🫘 As a physician, these are some of the habits I see silently damaging women’s kidneys, and most of them feel completely normal. 1️⃣ Taking ibuprofen too often (especially for period cramps) 2️⃣ Chronic dehydration 3️⃣ Ignoring or undertreating UTIs 4️⃣ Holding your urine for hours The scariest part? Kidney disease is often silent as symptoms don’t show up until you’ve already lost significant function. Women are actually at higher risk for certain types of kidney disease, and hormonal changes, more frequent UTIs, and NSAID use for menstrual symptoms all play a role. 💬 Poll: Which of these habits are YOU guilty of? #kidneyhealth #doctortips #kidneyfailure #dailyhabits
