  6. Dietary Adjustments Tailor diet to the type of kidney stones: • Avoid oxalate-rich foods: spinach, nuts, chocolate. • Reduce sodium intake. • Maintain balanced calcium intake with milk or yogurt. Increase fruits, vegetables, and water-rich foods.

  7. Gradual Activity Resumption • Resume physical activity gradually. • Avoid strenuous tasks for at least one week. • Light activities like walking promote healing and circulation.

  8. Regular Follow-Ups Visit your doctor for monitoring: • Kidney function tests. • Imaging for remaining or new stones. Early detection prevents complications.
