How to treat urinary tract stones and what dietary precautions need to be taken?

Patient's question:

How is urinary tract stone treated, and what should be paid attention to in daily diet? When checked at the hospital, the doctor did a black and white ultrasound but said they couldn't find anything, and finally told me to rest at home. Does anyone know what to do about this?

Doctor's answer:

Hello;
The true cause of urinary system stones is not yet clear. They are more common among people living in southern regions and may be related to factors such as diet, water intake, lifestyle, and genetics.
Recommendation:
If the condition has not been fully diagnosed, it is advisable to visit a well-equipped hospital for a color Doppler ultrasound or 3D color Doppler ultrasound to first determine the size of the stones, their location, and whether there is kidney hydronephrosis. After a clear understanding of these factors, a decision can be made about whether further treatment is necessary.
Additionally, it is recommended to reduce the intake of greasy foods, avoid smoking and alcohol, drink more water, and limit the consumption of foods such as persimmons, tofu made with gypsum, and spinach.
