Patient's question:
Can patients who have previously had kidney stones drink tea?Doctor's answer:
Hello, patients with kidney stones are advised to drink plenty of plain water, which can help expel stones.You can also steep some Di Qing Cao (a type of herb) to drink, as it can clear damp-heat, dissolve stones, and promote their excretion. It's important to develop good habits, such as quitting smoking and alcohol, avoiding staying up late, drinking more water, and participating in outdoor physical activities. Maintain a positive mindset. I believe most people know that urinary tract stones can cause significant harm to patients, so it's crucial to seek treatment as soon as possible. Pay attention to dietary issues in daily life, avoid irritant foods, and eat a balanced diet. Additionally, regular follow-up visits may be necessary when needed.
