Patient's question:
Friend Xiao Jing has recently been experiencing frequent urination and urinary pain. She is very worried about potential health issues and asked me to accompany her to the hospital. After the doctor's examination, it was determined that she has kidney stones. I would like to know what dietary precautions should be taken.Doctor's answer:
Hello, it is recommended to drink a lot of water regularly and engage in jumping exercises to facilitate the excretion of stones. Avoid consuming animal organs, spinach, tofu, chili peppers, nuts, salted fish, salted meat, and salt products. Additionally, it is important to follow a low-calcium diet and consume less dairy products, as they contain a high amount of calcium. Reduce sugar intake, as consuming sugar increases the concentration of calcium ions in the urine, the level of oxalate, and the acidity of the urine, thereby also increasing the likelihood of stone formation. To prevent stones, it is also necessary to pay attention to regular exercise, as prolonged inactivity can increase the chance of urinary sedimentation, leading to the formation of stones.
