For patients with ureteral stones, choosing appropriate beverages can help support treatment and alleviate symptoms. Plain water and purified water are the first choice, as they are free of solutes, increase urine output, dilute urine, flush the ureteral stones, and help small stones pass out with urine. Lemon honey water and hawthorn lotus leaf tea are also recommended; vitamin C and minerals in lemon help replenish body nutrients and promote stone excretion; flavonoids and alkaloids in hawthorn lotus leaf tea have diuretic and urinary tract soothing effects, which also aid in stone removal. It should be noted that these beverages cannot cure ureteral stones. Patients with severe symptoms should seek timely medical attention and follow doctors' recommendations for treatment.
