🥬 Palakura alert for kidney stone patients!
Spinach is rich in oxalates—one of the main culprits in kidney stone formation.
If you have kidney stones, avoiding high-oxalate foods can reduce recurrence risk.

🍅 Tomato ≠ Kidney Stone Trigger

Science over myths.
Tomato is low in oxalate and rich in citrate—the same protective factor we praise in lemon, orange, and mandarin.
Citrate prevents stone formation, not causes it.

Plus, tomato contains lycopene, a powerful antioxidant shown to reduce heart attack risk and certain cancers.

🚫 Blaming tomatoes for stones is outdated.
✅ Balance, hydration, and evidence-based diet matter.

Frequent urination is not normal—especially if it’s disturbing sleep or daily life.

Possible causes range from UTI, Overactive bladder, prostate enlargement, bladder dysfunction, diabetes, stones, to nerve-related issues.

To find the real reason, these tests matter:
• Urine routine & culture
• Blood sugar
• Ultrasound KUB + PVR
• Uroflowmetry

Treat the cause, not just the symptom.
Early diagnosis prevents long-term bladder and kidney damage.

Your bladder is not a storage tank. 🚫
Delaying urination allows bacteria to grow → UTI.
In severe cases, infection can enter the bloodstream → urosepsis, which can be life-threatening.

Don’t ignore the urge.
Empty your bladder on time.
Small habits prevent big complications.

⚠️ Citralka / urinary alkaliser in UTI? Think twice.

Urinary alkalisers (citrate preparations) are Contraindicated for treating UTIs as per US FDA.

Cochrane reviews show no strong evidence that alkalising urine improves UTI outcomes.

👉 UTIs need proper antibiotics, not urine alkalisation.
👉 Alkalising urine may even reduce antibiotic effectiveness in some cases and increase bacterial load.

Treat the cause, not just the burning.

Young male with urine problems? Don’t ignore it.
Weak stream, straining, incomplete emptying or frequency can be due to Primary Bladder Neck Obstruction (PBNO) — not prostate enlargement.

Diagnosis: uroflowmetry, pressure–flow study, cystoscopy.
Treatment: medications first; if persistent, endoscopic bladder neck incision gives excellent relief.

Early diagnosis prevents bladder damage. Seek urology evaluation early.

Don’t always drink water only after getting stone pain. Make it a habit to hydrate yourself well.
