Hi and thanks for the query,

Recurrent urinary infections in this context could be due to poorly managed kidney stones, poorly treated urinary infections and a possible resistant and unidentified germ causing this infection.

The sizes of the kidney stones might deserve either radiologic treatment like use of laser in lithotripsy, or use of surgery. Surgery must not be invasive in this case for there exist endoscopic surgery, which can be well used in this case. Thanks and kind regards. I suggest you consult a urologist.
