Patient's question:
I had my ureteral stones shattered and drank a lot of water afterward. I feel bloated now. It doesn't hurt anymore,,, is this bloating normal?Doctor's answer:
Hello! Urinary stones are formed by the spontaneous deposition of crystalline salts in the kidneys or bladder due to supersaturation. They primarily occur in the bladder or kidneys. For their formation, there are both natural and genetic factors. Naturally, the main factor is the difference in temperature, as higher temperatures make it easier to develop stones (urine concentration).Advice: Modern medical technology is quite advanced, and there are many methods for treating stones, each with its own advantages. We hope you can consider them comprehensively. For patients with urinary stones, it is recommended to drink more water to dilute the urine and prevent the stones from growing. In terms of diet, you can also consider increasing vitamin C intake, such as by eating more kiwis, jujubes, or pomelos. Wishing you a speedy recovery! Thank you!
