Patient's question:
The stomach has been relieved a bit, and there are occasional farts. Recently, he has been farting less. In the past few months, he has been adding sweet potatoes to his meals every day. (He had stomach cancer surgery ten months ago. On the 15th, he just finished blood tests and ultrasound at Xiangya Affiliated Hospital in Changsha. After the follow-up check-up, the ultrasound showed no problems with his kidneys. In the past few days since returning, he has started experiencing some pain. He used to have lumbar disc herniation issues, but they haven’t flared up for a long time.)Doctor's answer:
Hello, for kidney stones, appropriately adjusting your diet can prevent the recurrence or growth of stones. It is recommended to follow a low-calcium and low-oxalate diet. Consume less dairy products, soy products, meat, animal organs, chocolate, tea, sesame paste, egg yolks, mushrooms, spinach, shrimp skin, radishes, celery, potatoes, etc. Avoid excessive intake of vitamin D.Suggestions: Eat more carrots, green vegetables, pumpkin, animal liver, watermelon, black fungus, etc. Engage in regular exercise, such as jumping, which can help move the stones and facilitate their excretion, as well as reduce calcium deposits in the blood. This can lower the likelihood of stone formation.
