Modern people are busy at work and live a fast-paced life, and many of them often can't care to drink a glass of water even after work. Drinking too little water is the main cause of kidney stones, drink more water in order to precipitation and accumulation of calcium in the kidneys, debris out of the body, not to form stones. How much water should I drink? Drinking water standard to ensure that 2000 ml of urine can be discharged daily, so that every day should drink 2000 to 3000 ml of water, equivalent to 10 to 12 large cups of water.

The body's water loss at any time through different ways, must be replenished at any time to maintain the balance, in order to speed up the urinary excretion, feel thirsty and then drink water is already too late. Drinking water in the early morning can be up to 500 to 1,000 milliliters. In order to maintain the amount of urine at night, you should drink 500 milliliters of water before going to bed, and then 300 to 500 milliliters of water after urination, and the rest of the water should be taken between meals. The best way to rehydrate after exercise is to drink smaller amounts more often, you can drink 120 to 240 ml every 20 to 30 minutes.

Water is an important component of the human body and all organs and tissues of the body need water to metabolize. Whether it is to avoid kidney stones or not, you should drink more water.

Many stone patients understand the fact that with less water intake and less frequent urination, the concentration of calcium oxalate or calcium phosphate in the urine will be too high, and calcium crystals will be easily deposited to form calcium oxalate stones or calcium phosphate stones. Therefore, most patients usually drink more water. However, they also have this confusion that sometimes doctors will let drink more water to promote the discharge of stones, while sometimes they will emphasize to drink less water to prevent damage to kidney function. So what is the reason for this?

First of all, how much water a kidney stone patient drinks should depend on the size of the stone. If the stones are small, you should drink more water to increase the frequency and volume of urination, which can achieve the role of flushing the urinary tract, so that the stones are not easy to deposit, but also conducive to the small stones with the urine out of the body.

If the diameter of the stone is more than 1 cm, has caused mechanical obstruction of the urinary system or has occurred hydronephrosis, the patient should not drink more water, because drinking more water will increase the volume of urine, aggravate the degree of obstruction, and further damage the renal function. This type of kidney stone patients should take surgical treatment or use extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy treatment.

The amount of water consumed varies slightly depending on the season. Drink more water during the hot season. Because the human body is prone to sweating, drinking more water can prevent the concentration of urine, which plays a role in preventing the formation of stones and renal colic.

Of course, encouraging stone patients to drink more water does not mean that the more water you drink, the better. Usually the so-called "drinking more water" refers to drinking up to 2000 milliliters of water within 24 hours, and need to be divided into several times to drink, do not drink too much water in a short period of time all of a sudden. Excessive drinking water, water is absorbed into the bloodstream at once, more than the excretory capacity of the kidneys, it will accumulate in the tissue cells inside and outside, interfering with cellular metabolism, and at the same time, make the body of sodium, potassium, calcium, magnesium, chlorine, and other electrolytes dilution is reduced, thus leading to water intoxication, which can be imaginatively referred to as "water drunkenness", manifested in fatigue and weakness, The symptoms include fatigue, weakness of hands and feet, salivation at the corner of mouth, abdominal distension, and in serious cases, due to the edema of brain tissues and severe hyponatremia, the patient may even fall down and become unconscious suddenly.

For some special people, such as stone patients who also suffer from high blood pressure, renal insufficiency, serious ulcer disease or chronic heart and lung disease, it is even more important not to drink more water, otherwise it will aggravate the above diseases.

Therefore, stone patients need to take into account their actual situation and condition, correct and reasonable drinking water, in order to better treat the disease.

This issue has been talked about inside the previous article, but many people still don't quite understand, today's Mid-Autumn Festival busy day, and did not reply to your questions, I'm really sorry, take some time, share with you!

Today's society has more and more kidney stone patients, and more and more young, in the past, the people who have stones are usually in the age of 30-60 years old men, but now it's different, now a lot of young people in their early twenties have kidney stones, it can be said that the stones are very painful, it not only affects our health, for our psychological, work, study has a great impact, so there are stone problems, it must be cure it before it is too late.

Although the stone problem pain is more painful, but there are some people have stones, but never pain, we must know, often stones do not hurt, more serious than pain! Because even originally multiple stones in the right kidney, the largest one nearly 2cm, in order to cure it, go to the hospital crushed 3 times have recurred, and then learned of the hazards of crushed stones, do not dare to choose to crushed stones again!

Because although it can help us solve the problem relatively quickly, but the damage to the kidneys is huge, and after the lithotripsy, but also more and more troublesome, simply put is through the equipment to a large stone, broken into N many small stones, and ultimately, these small stones flow everywhere, if not cleaned up in a timely manner, it will always recur! Often we are still conservative cure, conservative cure, although relatively slow, but for the kidney without any damage, the above also talked about when I was the largest one 2cm, and then the operation was fruitless, only in Baedu on the Chaucer to the Li Vujun prescription, to help even the stones to dissolve away! Many patients may not have contact with the dissolution of stones, dissolution of stones simply put, that is, the big into small, small into nothing, and ultimately the stones with the urine out.

Once our stones are cured, the most important thing to do is to watch our water intake and pay attention to our daily diet, often prevention is one of the most important aspects.

So, how should kidney stone patients pay attention to drinking water?

As the saying goes, water is the source of life and drinking more water has many benefits! Many diseases can be prevented by drinking water, the most obvious is kidney stones, so how much water should kidney stone patients drink every day? What should we pay attention to in the process of drinking water?

In fact, it is best to drink 3000 milliliters of water per day is the best, drink water, do not drink so much at one time at the same time, but to separate many times to drink water. Before I met a friend, afraid of kidney stones, and then drink more than 5,000 ml of water a day, and is the same time period desperately drink.

This practice is wrong and people should not be blind.

Drinking water must be separated many times, rather than drinking enough at one time! Because if we drink so much water at once, it will lead to overburdening our kidneys, which will still have some effect on our kidneys.

Secondly, never drink carbonated beverages as water. Nowadays, young people, there is a habit, is very like to drink carbonated beverages, because for them, plain water has no flavor, really can't drink, and then carbonated beverages as water, we stones appear, and often drink carbonated beverages also has a certain relationship, so, drinking water, or to drink more plain water, don't drink carbonated beverages.

These are just some personal suggestions for your reference and learning.
