Patient's question:

1. In terms of diet, it is advisable to consume less foods that increase uric acid, such as meat and high-protein foods. Elderly patients should maintain a light diet, focusing on vegetables and fruits. They should eat more sugarcane, apples, oranges, grapes, pomegranates, and pineapples, while avoiding excessive consumption of chocolate and spinach. The recommended daily salt intake should be less than 10g.2. Urinate promptly and avoid holding urine. Holding urine can lead to excessive bladder filling, weakening the detrusor muscle's tone, making urination difficult, and easily causing acute urinary retention. Therefore, it is essential to urinate as soon as the urge arises.
3. Regular exercise can also help reduce the risk of urinary stones. Engaging in physical activities, cultural and sports events, and Qigong exercises can help alleviate symptoms.
4. Drink plenty of water regularly to dilute urine and flush out stones. Insufficient water intake not only causes dehydration but also hinders the flushing effect of urine on the urinary tract, making it easier for urine to become concentrated and form insoluble stones. Therefore, while reducing water intake slightly at night to prevent excessive bladder filling during sleep, it is important to drink more water during the day.
5. Prostate massage. Massaging the lower abdomen and pressing points such as Qihai (CV6) below the navel can help restore bladder function. Lightly massaging after urination can promote bladder emptying and reduce residual urine.
