Small Stones Found In Both Kidneys After A 9mm Kidney Stone Laser Blasted. Is This Normal ?
I recently had a 9mm Kidney Stone laser blasted in July. My CT showed smaller stones in both my kidneys.
A week after the surgery I had the stent removed. Later that night I passed a 3mm stone. A recent x-ray showed a stone in my right kidney and minute stone in my left kidney.
The stone that was blasted was analyzed. The results were 100% Carbonate Apatite.
My doctor gave me a diet to follow to reduce the possibility of new stones and keep the stones currently in my kidneys from getting bigger.
I researched Carbonate Apatite stones online and now I'm confused. The information I found said most of these types of stones are caused by some kind of infection, most common UTI, but also kidney. Also, any stones should be removed from the kidneys. They called the stones, infection stones.
Should I get a second opinion? I'm concerned I am not receiving the appropriate treatment.
I am female - 51 years old
I do not have a UTI, and my urine is clear.
I have never had a kidney stone prior to last month.
Thank you for your assistance.

Hello,
