Eating winter melon cannot cure kidney stones. Eating winter melon can neither dissolve kidney stones nor break them up. However, after eating winter melon, it can play a mild role in reducing swelling and diuresis, so in conjunction with other treatments, you can eat more winter melon to promote urine volume and play a role in promoting stone removal. For example, after extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy or after surgery, you can eat winter melon as a diuretic to promote the elimination of the broken stones from the body as soon as possible, and you need to drink more water and exercise a certain amount. Winter melon does not have any irritation, so it can be eaten after surgery, and will not increase the burden on the gastrointestinal tract, but will help to reduce the patient’s edema symptoms. Therefore, eating winter melon will not directly cause the dissolution and fragmentation of kidney stones, but after extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy and surgical treatment, you can eat winter melon or other diuretic foods in the diet to promote patients to urinate more and promote the elimination of small stones from the body as soon as possible.
