Kidney stones are a common urological condition and patients are generally advised to drink more water first, which facilitates the expulsion of small stones. A diet low in purines (e.g. potatoes, rice, mushrooms), phosphorus (e.g. winter melon, cucumber), calcium (e.g. goose meat) and sodium (e.g. straw fish) should be the mainstay. It is important to note that diet is only one part of the treatment of the disease and the severity of the disease varies from patient to patient, so it is advisable to seek medical advice in the event of discomfort. Your doctor will be able to advise you on the appropriate treatment plan for your particular case, as well as give you sound dietary advice.
