Patient's question:
Please ask: How to prevent and treat sandy urine stones?Doctor's answer:
Hello. Suggestions:(1) Drink plenty of plain water. Drinking more water dilutes urine, reducing the concentration of calcium ions and oxalate, which prevents the formation of calcium oxalate stones.
(2) Supplement calcium reasonably. Calcium can combine with oxalate from vegetables in the gastrointestinal tract to form insoluble calcium oxalate, which is excreted through the feces. This reduces the amount of oxalate absorbed by the intestines and excreted by the kidneys, thereby lowering the risk of kidney stone formation. Reasonable calcium supplementation makes the blood slightly alkaline, which actually helps inhibit stone formation.
(3) High-sugar food intake can increase the risk of kidney stones, so it’s important to limit sweet foods.
(4) Eat fewer oxalate-rich foods. Foods high in oxalate include tomatoes, spinach, strawberries, beets, and chocolate. Excessive oxalate intake is also a major factor or cause of kidney stones.
(5) Eat fewer soy products. Soy foods are high in both oxalate and phosphate, which can combine with calcium in the kidneys to form stones.
(6) Avoid drinking milk before bed.
(7) Do not overuse fish liver oil.
(8) Eat more black fungus ().
(9) Consume more grains, dried fruits, and nuts.
I hope my suggestions are helpful to you.
