Here's some...: A 5.5-mm stone will not cause urinary frequency and not be related with UTI even if you get it. However, this stone will have a low odd to pass through the ureter. Keeping daily urine output >2500 c.c. is the common useful advice to keep urine diluted so not to form stone crystals. More? Seek professional evaluation and counseling timely.
