Doctor's answer (1)
Dr. Zhao Xinju
Patients with kidney cysts should pay attention to reducing sodium intake and consume more foods that promote water metabolism in daily life, helping the kidneys eliminate excess fluid from the cysts. Such foods include wax gourd, sweet potato, Chinese yam, bananas, watermelon, etc. These foods have diuretic and anti-edema effects on different parts of the body and can help regulate the body's fluid balance to a certain extent.
