Pace Hospitals

If you have blood in urine, vomiting, or painful when urinate, you may have kidney stone.

If you have blood in urine, vomiting, or painful when urinate, you may have kidney stone. Technically, kidney stone is a solid piece of material that occurs in the urinary tract. It is normal if there is a small stone in your kidney. A small stone may pass and leave the body in the urine stream without causing symptoms. But if the stone grows to more than 5 millimeters, it definitely can cause blockage of the ureter.

Here are 5 best steps in preventing kidney stone you should follow.

  1. Drink Extra Water: This first step is not a secret anymore. The fact, water can dilute the substances in urine that lead to stone. So, make sure that you drink enough fluids to pass 2 liters of urine a day. Another fact said that citrus beverages such as lemonade and orange juice are also beneficial to help kidney stone.

  2. Don’t Do Some Heavy Exercises: Exercise seems as a healing of every disease, but the heavy one may worsen your condition. Some other activities such as sauna, hot yoga are not good either. Those activities can make you loss of water through sweating and it will leads to less urine production.

  3. Get the Calcium: Having enough calcium is good as a prevention of kidney stone. Getting too little calcium can cause oxalate levels to rise and cause kidney stone. So, make sure that you take enough calcium appropriate to your age. Men 50 and older should get 1000 mg of calcium per day.

  4. Avoid the Trigger Foods: A number of foods such as beets, chocolate, spinach, tea and most nuts are rich in oxalate. Those can lead you to kidney stone. Avoiding these foods are vital.

  5. Reduce Sodium: High-sodium diet may increase the amount of calcium in your urine so it can trigger kidney stone. You are highly recommended to do a low-sodium diet. This diet is also good for your blood pressure and heart.
