Drinking cola is not helpful for kidney stones, and drinking too much cola may induce stones, you should drink a lot of water every day, and when the stones can not be discharged by yourself, you should also undergo extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy or surgery to remove the stones.
Cola is a carbonated beverage, which is not helpful for kidney stones, and may induce the formation of new stones after drinking a lot of it. Therefore, kidney stone patients should not drink cola as much as possible, and they should ensure sufficient drinking water every day, and urinate repeatedly, which will flush the stones and the urinary tract, and help the stones to be discharged out of the body.
When kidney stones are larger than 0.6 centimeters in diameter, they cannot be expelled from the body by themselves and may be stuck in the ureter, extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy can be considered. If lithotripsy is not effective or if the diameter of the kidney stone is larger than 1.2 centimeters, surgical removal of the stone, such as ureteral lithotripsy, can be considered.
Therefore, when the symptoms of kidney stones appear, it is important to seek timely medical treatment to avoid serious complications.
