See the Urologist: YOu should know what type of Kidney stones you are making so as to change your diet and add certain medicine/ Vitamins/Minerals. Drink LOTS of water This frequent problem with kidney stone usually associated with Kidney infection also. Some times Nephrostomy tube is needed sometimes Lithotrypsy is needed.

Cause: fix for the current stones and prevent future ones. Your rate of stones formation strongly suggest you have an issue that your are forming stones. First see a urologist for current stones and need to see a kidney doctor for a 24 hour urine collection for stones. 2 samples may be needed. Drinking 2L of water per day is needed. Cut down your Salt intake (sodium). A analsysis of your stones is needed
