What produces kidney stones?

For preventing stones, hydration is key, like everyone says. But also, regular physical activity can help! I always make sure to walk a lot, at least 10k steps daily. My doctor said that being active can prevent a lot of health issues, including things like kidney stones.

I totally get it, it's confusing to figure out what causes these things. From what I've read and heard from friends who had them, it's often linked to less water intake and some foods, specially those high in oxalates or sodium. Best to chat with a doc for personal advice.

Haan ji, kidney stones ka main reason toh paani kam peena hi hota hai. Aur na, kuch foods bhi hain high sodium ya high oxalate waale jo zyada khane se ho sakta hai. Mere neighbour ko hua tha toh doc ne bola tha ki diet mein thoda dhyan rakho aur paani khoob piyo.

My doctor explained it quite clearly to me once. Kidney stones form when there's too much of certain substances in your urine, like calcium, oxalate, or uric acid, and not enough fluid to dilute them. Dehydration is a huge factor, but diet, genetics, and certain medical conditions also contribute. He said drinking plenty of water is the simplest prevention.

Beta, hamare gaon mein toh kehte hain ki zyada paani na peeyo toh patthri ho jaati hai. Aur garam cheezein bhi thodi kam khaani chahiye. Meri saas ko bhi ek baar ho gaya tha, doctor ne bola tha khub paani piyo aur nimbu paani bhi acha hota hai. Dhyan rakho bas apna.
