Patient's question:
What should a 30-year-old man pay attention to in his diet regarding prostate stones?Doctor's answer:
① Drink plenty of water, 2000-3000 milliliters per day, strive to make the urine output reach over 2000 milliliters.② The intake of meat should be limited, especially animal organs.
③ Some foods should be eaten in moderation, such as spinach, potatoes, asparagus, carrots, pickled vegetables, hairtail, strong tea, instant coffee, etc.
1. Eat less beef and mutton: Because beef and mutton contain a high amount of purine, which easily breaks down into uric acid, one of the components that form stones.
2. Eat less foods rich in vitamin C: Because vitamin C metabolizes in the body to produce oxalate, which promotes the formation of stones.
3. Eat less calcium-containing foods: Because calcium is one of the main components of stones.
4. Eat less salt: Because salt and calcium have a synergistic effect in the body and can interfere with the metabolic process of drugs used to prevent and treat kidney stones.
5. Eat less vegetables containing oxalates: Because oxalates combine with calcium in the body to form calcium oxalate, which deposits as stones. Green vegetables contain a high amount of oxalates, especially spinach, which has the highest content.
