How often do kidney stones recur?
11 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Depends: It depends on the type of stone, your fluid intake, genetics, and your body's tendency to excrete certain compounds. Since there are so many factors, it is highly variable. The best method of prevention is to increase your daily water intake.

It depends: If you have only had 1 stone, the risk is about 50% if you have had more than one, the risk goes higher.
