Hi,
Thanks for writing in.

Not drinking adequate water might predispose a person to develop kidney stones and infection. Please make sure that you drink at least 2 liters of water every day. This will help to flush out all the impurities in the blood and clear your urinary tract of small stones.

If you have a history of urinary stones then please get urine culture and sensitivity test done. This will show any infection and whether you require any treatment for it. It might be required that you get a follow up ultrasound scan done to know any small stones which are still there in the kidneys or ureters. Please visit washrooms regularly and avoid holding urine for long duration. YOu might ask your doctor for prescription of urine alkaliser to reduce acidity of urine and avoid stones. Please do not worry.
