matters needing attention

In fact, our human body has a certain ability of self-regulation and repair, just like small urinary stones. If we drink more water and jump more, there is a great possibility that these stones can be discharged from the body. In order to excrete excessive uric acid in the body, we should encourage patients to drink more water, drink more than 2000 ml of boiling water every day, never drink drinks.
