Patient's question:
My several tea friends have been drinking tea for several decades. However, they all have kidney stones. Some say that excessive tea consumption has led to kidney stones and hydronephrosis. How can people who drink tea regularly develop kidney stones and hydronephrosis? I don't believe there's a connection. But they insist there is. Why would drinking tea lead to kidney stones and hydronephrosis?Doctor's answer:
If it is not long-term drinking strong tea, it will never cause kidney stones. Drinking strong tea may cause kidney stones. Additionally, lack of exercise, personal constitution, and lack of exercise are also common causes of kidney stones. Therefore, after identification, appropriate treatment measures should be taken based on the size of the stones. Long-term expansion can affect kidney function, and complications such as repeated urinary tract infections may occur.
