Doctor's answer (1)
Dr. Wang Jianlong
Drinking too much boiled water usually does not cause stones. The formation of stones in the body may be due to limited physical activity and insufficient water intake, leading to concentrated urine and accumulation of sediment, which can result in stone formation. Additionally, consuming large amounts of foods high in oxalate, calcium, purines, etc., may also trigger the development of stones. It is recommended to promptly consult a doctor for appropriate stone removal treatment to alleviate the condition.
