In general, people with kidney stones can drink tea properly, but it is not recommended to drink strong tea.

Can people with kidney stones drink tea?

People with kidney stones can drink more water in their daily life, which helps to increase urine volume and promote stone excretion. Usually, drinking weak tea water properly will not lead to more serious stones in the body. Because tea contains too much oxalic acid, if people with kidney stones drink too much strong tea, it will usually lead to the formation of a large number of calcium oxalate stones in the body, thus making the disease more serious.

If the stones in the body are small, they can usually be treated with drugs such as potassium sodium hydrogen citrate granules tamsulosin capsules under the guidance of a doctor. If the stones in the body are large, it is necessary to discharge the stones in a timely manner by ultrasonic extracorporeal lithotripsy or surgical lithotripsy.

Usually, attention should be paid to reducing foods with high oxalic acid content such as spinach tomatoes, and appropriate exercise, which also helps to promote stone excretion. If the symptoms continue to worsen, it is recommended to seek medical treatment in time.
