Is watermelon good for kidney stones?

Someone told me that eating watermelon can help with kidney stones. I've been getting them frequently these days, so I was thinking of adding more watermelon to my diet. Is there any truth to this or is it just a myth?

Haan, watermelon me kafi pani hota hai toh yeh kidney stones ke liye accha mana jata hai. But agar bohot tez pain ho toh doctor ko zaroor dikhana, ghar ke nuskho pe mat baithna.

I had a 10mm stone that blocked my ureter because I kept trying to flush it out with juices at home instead of going to the clinic. Please get an ultrasound done first to see the size of the stone before trying any diet remedies.

I have had stones twice. Watermelon is good because it helps you urinate more, which can flush out tiny stones. But make sure you drink plenty of plain water too, and see a doctor if there is any pain or blood.

My mother always tells us to eat watermelon for any urinary issues because of its high water content. It is definitely good for hydration, but for proper stone removal, you must consult your doctor and follow their treatment.

The pain of kidney stones is absolutely unbearable, I literally cried last year when I had it. Watermelon did help me stay hydrated, but pain meds and doctor's advice are what actually saved me. Stay strong!

Humare yahan sab kehte hain ki tarbooz khane se pathri nikal jati hai kyunki isme bohot pani hota hai. Par bhaiya, doctor babu se dawai zaroor le lena aur bina unse pooche koi bada parhez mat karna.
