Fruits that patients with urinary stones can eat include the following:
1. Watermelon: Watermelon contains abundant water and has a diuretic effect, which can help produce and excrete urine, dilute stone-forming substances in the urine, and reduce the risk of stone formation.
2. Lemon: Lemons are rich in citric acid, which can help dissolve certain types of stones and increase the citrate content in urine, helping to prevent the formation of new stones and control the progression of urinary stones.
3. Pomelo: Pomelo is rich in vitamin C and antioxidants, which can help improve the acid-base balance of urine, reduce stone formation, and promote urine excretion.
4. Apple: The pectin in apples can help lower the concentration of calcium in urine, reducing the likelihood of stone formation and supporting urinary system health.
5. Orange: Orange is another fruit rich in vitamin C and antioxidants, which helps increase urinary pH, improve acid-base balance, and reduce the risk of uric acid stones.
