Patient's question:
Here's the translation:That's the situation. My husband has now developed kidney stones. The doctor said we need to pay attention to our daily habits. I don't know what specific habits to be mindful of. Also, do kidney stones cause prostatitis?
Doctor's answer:
The formation of kidney stones is due to excessive amounts of calcium salts, oxalates, phosphates, carbonates, and other substances in the urine excreted by the kidneys. When these substances are present in excessive amounts in the urine and fall below saturation concentration, they cause crystallization and leaching from the urine, gradually growing to form stones. For small stones in both kidneys, it is recommended to seek strict treatment. In daily life, drink more warm water, urinate frequently, and avoid extremely cold, spicy, and irritating foods. If you have prostate disease, it is advisable to have a urine routine test done at the hospital, followed by a color Doppler ultrasound of the urinary system and a thorough examination of prostatic fluid. Kidney stones should never cause such symptoms, so it is necessary to identify the condition and treat it accordingly.
