How to prevent and treat urinary tract stones?

Patient's question:

Since getting urinary tract stones, both daily life and examinations have been particularly inconvenient. Whether it's diet or routine, everything needs to be strictly standardized. I would like to consult about how to comprehensively prevent and treat urinary tract stones to alleviate the pain. Life is truly too painful like this.

Doctor's answer:

Preventing urinary tract stones primarily involves paying attention to diet, avoiding foods high in calcium, and drinking plenty of water. Regular exercise is also important. By staying active and urinating frequently, stones can be passed out of the body, preventing them from forming inside. If you already have urinary tract stones, treatment options should be chosen based on the size of the stones and the clinical symptoms they cause. If the stones are large, extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy (ESWL) should be performed first, followed by diuretic stone expulsion therapy.
