Doctor's answer:
Hello! Treatment Methods for Urinary Stones:Depending on the composition of the urinary stones, dietary adjustments should be made. For patients with calcium oxalate stones, it is advisable to reduce the intake of foods high in oxalates, such as spinach, tomatoes, potatoes, strawberries, etc.
Taking traditional Chinese medicine (TCM): Every so often, soak water with the TCM herbs Jin Yin Cao () and Hai Jin Sha () and drink it. This helps in expelling small stones from the body. If possible, you can also consult a TCM practitioner to obtain a personalized herbal prescription tailored to your condition for soaking and drinking.
Drink plenty of water: Cultivate the habit of drinking more water to increase urine volume, which is known as "internal cleansing." This is beneficial for the excretion of various salts and minerals in the body. Of course, it is important to pay attention to water hygiene and the quality of the water, avoiding the consumption of water with excessively high calcium content.
Stay active: Engage in regular physical activities such as walking, jogging, and doing gymnastics. When you have good physical endurance, you can also jump in place, which is equally helpful in preventing the recurrence of urinary stones.
The most important thing is to drink plenty of water! If the stones are large, extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy (ESWL) can be considered. Wishing you good health! If you have any questions, feel free to consult online.
