Can drinking beer help expel kidney stones?

You cannot excrete stones when drinking beer, and it is best not to drink alcohol after the stones are diagnosed. You must pay attention to your daily diet, which should be light. You can drink more water, which can help you excrete the stones in your body and improve your condition. You should also be careful not to get urinary tract infections.

(1) Develop the habit of drinking more water

Drinking more water can dilute urine, reduce the concentration of crystals in urine, flush the urinary tract, which is beneficial for preventing stone formation and promoting the excretion of urinary stones. Generally, adults drink more than 2000 ml of boiled water every day, which is of certain significance in preventing stones.

(II) Eliminate factors that obstruct the urinary tract

Actively treat urethral stenosis, prostatic hyperplasia, etc. to relieve urinary tract obstruction.

(III) Actively treat urinary tract infection

(iv) Long-term bedridden patients should be encouraged and helped to move more to reduce bone decalcification and improve urine flow.

(V) Regulating urine acidity and alkalinity

Adjusting the urine acidity and alkalinity according to the composition of urinary stones can prevent the recurrence of urinary stones. For example, urate and oxalate stones are formed in acidic urine, while phosphate and carbonate stones are formed in alkaline urine.

(6) Prevent and treat metabolic diseases. For example, patients with hyperthyroidism should undergo surgical treatment.

7. Dietary adjustment and drug prevention

Adjust the diet appropriately according to the composition of the stones. For example, patients with oxalate stones should eat less foods rich in oxalic acid, such as potatoes, spinach, etc. Oral vitamin B6 can reduce the excretion of oxalate in urine, and oral magnesium oxide can increase the solubility of oxalate in urine. Patients with phosphate stones should follow a low-phosphorus and low-calcium diet and take ammonium chloride orally to acidify the urine, which facilitates the dissolution of phosphate. Patients with urate stones should not eat foods rich in purine, such as liver, kidney and beans. They should take citrate mixture or sodium bicarbonate orally to alkalize the urine and keep the urine pH above 6.5.

Experts point out that due to the complex causes of urinary stones, the high incidence of stones and the easy recurrence after treatment, it is still one of the challenging problems currently facing clinical practice. Therefore, when taking preventive measures, we should try to consider the specific causes of individual patients and formulate preventive measures according to the individual.

Urinary stones include kidney stones, ureteral stones, bladder stones and urethral stones. When an attack occurs, the main symptoms include severe pain in the waist and abdomen, vomiting, nausea, etc. In order to prevent urinary stones and reduce the onset of stone pain, you should drink more water, eat less foods high in salt, sugar, and calcium, and exercise more.
