Don’t wait until a disease occurs to regret it. Therefore, men should take appropriate protective measures against urethral stones to avoid their occurrence, in order to maintain their health to a greater extent. The following four small methods have a good defensive effect against this disease, which men can try.
Four small methods to help men cleverly avoid urethral stones
Drink more water
Most men around us do not like to drink water. Men often wait until they feel thirsty before drinking water, but this is not beneficial for disease prevention. Increasing water intake can increase urine volume, dilute crystallization in urine, and expel it from the body through urine. Even if there is a small stone present, if it can be expelled in urine, it can have a therapeutic effect. Therefore, men should drink more water regularly.
Change the environment where the disease forms
Urethral stones, mainly composed of calcium oxalate, account for about 80%. These stones generally form in an acidic urine environment, while calcium phosphate stones form in an alkaline urine environment, but only account for about 10%. Therefore, based on the composition and nature of the stones, men can change the acid-base environment to prevent the occurrence of urethral stones.
Protect the urinary system
Infection in the urinary system is one of the factors contributing to the occurrence of this disease. To prevent the disease, it’s important to protect the urinary system. Infections caused by Staphylococcus and Streptococcus can lead to stone formation and cause urea to decompose into ammonia, turning urine alkaline and making uric acid salts more prone to precipitate, leading to urinary stones. Additionally, bacteria and their resulting masses and necrotic tissues can be factors in stone formation.
Pay attention to dietary health
If men do not control their food intake and always indulge in fatty and protein-rich foods, it can increase health risks. Therefore, men should eat more whole grains and vegetables regularly. For those already suffering from the disease, after the stone is cured, they should consume foods high in oxalic acid like mushrooms, potatoes, and tomatoes to prevent oxalate stones from recurring.
Qujing Jiuzhou Hospital reminds: To prevent urethral stones, men should follow these four points regularly. Both diet and lifestyle should be maintained to avoid creating opportunities for the disease.
