2. What foods are good for your health if you have urethral stones:

1. Drink more water: The most important way to prevent urethral stones is to increase your water intake. Water dilutes urine and prevents high concentrations of salts and minerals from accumulating into stones. The appropriate amount of water to drink is to excrete 2 liters of urine a day, which is considered enough.

2. Eat foods rich in vitamin A: Vitamin A is a necessary substance for maintaining the health of the lining of the urethra. It also helps prevent the recurrence of stones. Healthy adults need 5,000 units (Iu) of vitamin A a day. One cup of carrots provides 10,055 Iu of vitamin A. Other foods rich in vitamin A include broccoli, apricots, cantaloupe, pumpkin, and beef liver.

3. It is best not to eat foods with urethral stones:

1. Salt: Patients with urethral stones should reduce their salt intake. Daily salt intake should be reduced to 2-3 grams. Supplementing fiber and eating rice bran can prevent the occurrence of stones.

2. Foods rich in oxalates: About 60% of the stones are calcium oxalate stones. Therefore, foods rich in oxalic acid should be consumed in a limited amount, including beans, beets, celery, chocolate, grapes, green peppers, cilantro, spinach, strawberries, and vegetables from the cabbage family. Also avoid alcohol, caffeine, tea, chocolate, dried figs, lamb, stone fruits, green peppers, black tea, poppy seeds, etc.

3. Limit the intake of foods high in protein: Kidney stones are directly related to protein intake. Protein easily causes uric acid, calcium and phosphorus to appear in urine, leading to the formation of stones. If you have had calcium stones, you should be especially careful about consuming too much protein, especially if you have a history of hyperuricemia or cystine stones. Limit eating to 180 grams of high-protein foods per day, including meat, cheese, chicken and fish.
