Detailed Answer:
Hi and thank you so much for this query.

I am so sorry to hear about this recurrent kidney stones. I am happy you a drinking enough water. Please, make sure you never forget as this is a very important tool in fighting against kidney stones.

How common these stones are raise the suspicion of a possible predisposing condition. This needs to be actively invited and addressed fully. Some include increased blood calcium, uric acid and cystine levels. Your doctor should specifically look for them and address accordingly. Drinking water helps in the process but identifying the main problem for treatment is the main approach. For this, I suggest you get a nephrologist for blood and urine testing.

I hope this helps. I wish you well. Thanks for using our services and do feel free to ask for more information and clarifications if need be.
