In this informative video, Dr. Amit Saple, Senior Consultant at AINU Hospital, Visakhapatnam, addresses one of the most common questions from patients who have been diagnosed and treated for kidney stones: What diet should I follow, and how much water should I drink to ensure a healthy recovery and clear urine? Kidney stone treatment doesn’t end with just medical intervention; adopting the right lifestyle choices plays a crucial role in preventing future stone formation and aiding in recovery. Dr. Saple sheds light on the importance of staying hydrated and making thoughtful dietary choices after kidney stone treatment. He explains that maintaining clear, healthy urine is key to avoiding new stones and ensuring overall kidney health. In this video, Dr. Saple emphasizes: Hydration: Drinking adequate amounts of water is essential. It helps to flush out the kidneys and prevents the formation of new stones. But how much water is enough? Dr. Saple explains the recommended daily intake based on individual needs and conditions. Lemon Juice: Dr. Saple suggests including lemon juice in your daily diet. Its citric acid can help break down kidney stones and prevent their formation. Milk: While milk provides essential nutrients, Dr. Saple advises moderation, especially if you're prone to calcium oxalate stones, as milk can contribute to their formation in some cases. Dietary Adjustments: The video also touches upon the need to reduce non-vegetarian foods and alcohol consumption. Dr. Jul 20, 2026 Learn more
