What should women pay attention to when they have kidney stones?

Stones are a relatively special disease. They are not stones, but a substance composed of protein, which often occurs in the kidneys. Once you suffer from kidney stones, the impact on your health is quite large. Women need to pay attention to many things, otherwise the impact on their body will be even greater. So, what should women pay attention to when they have kidney stones? Let’s take a closer look below.

1. Drink more water and don't hold urine. Drinking more water can dilute the urine, which will reduce the concentration of calcium ions and oxalate, prevent the formation of calcium oxalate stones, and prevent high concentrations of salts and minerals from accumulating into stones. Studies have shown that increasing urine volume by 50% can reduce the incidence of kidney stones by 86%.

2. Eat more black fungus. Black fungus is rich in various minerals and trace elements, which can produce strong chemical reactions on various stones, causing them to be exfoliated, differentiated, dissolved, and excreted from the body.

3. People who are not active tend to have calcium accumulated in the blood, while exercise helps calcium flow to the bones where it belongs. Therefore, you should go for a walk outdoors or do more exercise.

4. Drink less beer. Some people believe that beer can act as a diuretic and prevent the occurrence of urinary stones. In fact, the malt juice used to brew beer contains acidic substances such as calcium, oxalic acid and purine nucleotides. They interact with each other to increase the uric acid in the human body, which becomes an important cause of kidney stones.

The above is an introduction to what women should pay attention to when it comes to kidney stones. I hope it will be helpful to patients’ understanding. The appearance of stones has a relatively large impact on our health. In addition to active treatment, women should pay attention to these matters related to stones, drink more water, prevent the growth of stones, and if necessary, surgical treatment is recommended.
