Doctor’s reply: The child’s stone composition analysis report and stone prevention recommendations are sent to you, please take preventive measures in a targeted manner.

Drink plenty of water: drink at least 2000ml of water daily (equivalent to a thermos bottle) to ensure that the daily urine volume is more than 2000ml; 2.

Cocoa, chocolate, tea, various nuts (chestnuts, almonds, walnuts, etc.), should be avoided or eaten less; 4, often eat citrus: eating citrus fruits can increase the content of citric acid (stone inhibition factor) in the urine, help prevent the recurrence of stones; 5, moderate exercise: conducive to the discharge of tiny stones, but should prevent excessive exercise resulting in dehydration caused by urine concentration; 6, weight control: obesity easily lead to stone formation Obese people should reduce their body weight; 7.Regular physical examination: the urological ultrasound should be routinely reviewed every year.
