What kind of water to drink for kidney stones

Patients with kidney stones can drink some warm water or cool white water appropriately, which can promote the discharge of stones. This way can only play the role of auxiliary treatment, and can not replace other medical measures such as drugs or surgery. For patients with kidney stones, they should increase the amount of water they drink, and usually drink 2,000 to 3,000 ml of cool water or warm water every day, which can dilute the urine and promote the discharge of small stones. At night when you go to bed, you should also drink 500ml of water, and after you get up to urinate during sleep, you should drink another 200ml of water, which can flush the stones, dilute the urine, and change the pH of the urine. It should be noted that increasing water intake is only an adjunctive therapeutic measure in the treatment of kidney stones. For patients with serious conditions, they should seek medical examination as early as possible to clarify their conditions and take drugs such as sodium hydrogen potassium citrate and tamsulosin for treatment under the guidance of doctors. For those who are ineffective in conservative treatment, extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy and ureteroscopic lithotripsy can be considered for treatment. To summarize, patients with kidney stones should seek medical treatment in time.
