Brief Answer:
Drink plenty of fluids and maintain personal hygeine...

Detailed Answer:
Hi,

There are not set protocols / measures available to prevent future kidney stones. However I suggest my patients to drink plenty of water and maintain good personal hygeine to prevent kidney stones. Plenty of fluids and personal hygeine prevents urinary infection which is one among the reasons for recurrent kidney stones.

Besides these, I will also suggest you to maintain weight in limits. Start exercise. Restrict purine rich diet such as tomoto, meat, mushroom, kidney beans, cauliflower, peas, lentils and fish.

Hope this helps. Let me know if you need clarifications.

Regards
