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 helps dilute urine, reducing the concentration of calcium ions and oxalate, which in turn 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 then 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 also makes the blood slightly alkaline, which actually helps inhibit stone formation.
(3) High-sugar food intake can increase the risk of kidney stones. Therefore, it is advisable to consume less sweet food.
(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) Consume fewer soy products. Soy products 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 overconsume cod liver oil.
(8) Eat more black fungus.
(9) Increase the intake of grains, dried fruits, and nuts.
I hope my suggestions are helpful to you.
