A stone prevention plan should fit your stone type, test results and everyday routine. Dr. Amin Mir Sadeghi offers personalised stone care in Dubai, bringing more than 12 years of clinical and surgical experience in urology and andrology. These questions help you prepare for a consultation about hydration, food, recurrence and follow-up.
Frequently asked questions
What Foods Make Kidney Stones Worse?
The answer depends on your stone type and urine results. High salt intake and excessive animal protein can increase risk; selected calcium oxalate stone formers may need to reduce high-oxalate foods. Do not automatically eliminate normal dietary calcium. Discuss your eating habits with Dr. Amin so prevention becomes a targeted plan rather than an unnecessarily restrictive diet.

Why Do I Keep Getting Kidney Stones?
Recurring stones may reflect low urine volume, diet, inherited factors, metabolic conditions or a urinary drainage problem. Repeatedly treating attacks without investigating the cause can miss useful prevention opportunities. Book a review with Dr. Amin and bring previous scans and stone-analysis results; selected patients benefit from blood tests and a 24-hour urine assessment to guide prevention.

Can Dehydration Cause Kidney Stones?
Yes. Low fluid intake or fluid loss through sweating can make urine more concentrated and encourage stone formation. This is relevant when working outdoors or exercising in Dubai's heat. Dr. Amin can help you establish a suitable hydration and follow-up plan, especially if heart or kidney disease means you should not simply increase fluids without medical advice.

Can Stress Cause Kidney Stones?
Stress should not be assumed to be the direct cause of a stone. It can, however, disrupt drinking, eating and other habits that affect health. If attacks keep recurring, arrange a review with Dr. Amin to investigate measurable risk factors and create a practical prevention plan while also discussing the effect symptoms are having on your daily life.

How Much Water Should I Drink With a Kidney Stone?
Fluid advice should reflect your kidney and heart health, climate and treatment stage. For prevention, many adults are advised to drink enough to produce around 2 to 2.5 litres of urine daily, with more fluid often needed in heat. Do not force large volumes during severe colic or exceed a prescribed fluid restriction. Ask Dr. Amin for your individual target. Read more: Urinary System Check-up for Men and Women.
What Supplements Help Prevent Kidney Stones?
No supplement is a universal solution. Some patients benefit from prescribed potassium citrate or other targeted treatment after testing, while unnecessary high-dose vitamin C or poorly planned supplements may increase risk. Bring the full list of products you take to Dr. Amin. A prevention consultation can identify what is useful, what needs adjustment and what monitoring is required.

What Should I Eat if I Have a Kidney Stone?
There is no meal that reliably dissolves every stone during an attack. If you can eat and drink, use a balanced, lower-salt diet and avoid extreme restrictions while awaiting stone-specific advice. Persistent vomiting needs medical review. Dr. Amin can connect your scan and stone-analysis findings to a practical eating plan for longer-term prevention.

Are Kidney Stones Genetic?
Family history can increase the risk, and a minority of patients have inherited conditions such as cystinuria. Stones starting young, recurring frequently or affecting several relatives may justify a more detailed assessment. Share your family history with Dr. Amin so stone analysis, metabolic testing and, when indicated, genetic evaluation can be considered as part of prevention planning.

Can Certain Medications Cause Kidney Stones?
Yes. Some medicines can change urine chemistry or, less commonly, form crystals themselves. Certain supplements can also contribute. Do not stop prescribed treatment on your own. Bring your medication and supplement list to Dr. Amin, including doses, so possible contributors can be reviewed with the prescriber and the prevention plan can be tailored accordingly.

Can You Prevent Future Kidney Stones?
You can often reduce recurrence through appropriate fluids, dietary changes and sometimes targeted medication. Dr. Amin's stone care can combine RIRS for a suitable current kidney stone with follow-up and prevention planning. Removing the stone through the natural urinary passage addresses the present stone; identifying why it formed helps guide the next steps.
