hi thanks for posting your query on health care magic.
as per your clinical history it seems quite prudent that the stones you aarr harbouring are significant in size and number.since you are pro builder,high intake of protein in form of creatine can contribute to stone formation...excess calcium intake in he form of milk can also precipitate stone formation in your case.these stones are chemically composed of calcium monohydrate and dihydrate.stone treatment protocols include two major procedures called "ESWL-EXTRA CORPOREAL SHOCK WAVE LITHOTRIPSY" and "PCNL-"PERCUTANEOUS NEPHROLITHOTOMY" .the former is a non surgical procedure ,while the latter is a an open surgical procedure.non drug measures include daily intake of 3-4liters of water to wash out small stones less than 2 mm.reduction in protein intake can also be helpful as in your case.consult an expert urologist for further management in your case.
thank you .
take care.
