What Causes Frequent Urination After Passing A Kidney Stone?

I passed a kidney stone 10 days ago (at home, did not go to the hospital, have passed them before so I recognize the symptoms). Now with urgency, frequency and on a home test strip some leukocytes in urine (I do not see gross hematuria). Also, I am a sonographer - scanned myself - unable to tell if there are more stones and I do not feel like ultrasound is the best option to see small stones. Would an antibiotic help my symptoms?

Hi.
Nice to know that u passed kidney stone.
Having frequency and urgency even 10 days after passing stone may mean u may have urinary tract infection or any residual stone.
As urine strip test shows increased leucocytes, possibility of infection is there. Get urine Routine and culture to rule out infection. If it is there, take culture sensitive antibiotics.
Since u have passed stones before too, get CT KUB to know if any residual stone exists.
If don't have infection or residual stone, u can try anticholinergics like Tolterodine and Solifenacin and adrenergic blockers like Tamsulosin to decrease ur symptoms.
Also decrease fluid intake to 3 litres per day to decrease ur symptoms.
