Yes: Unfortunately, kidney stones can recur often and frequently.It is important to know if you have a reason for stones-that can include certain chemicals out of balance like calcium, or infections.The most important treatment for any type of stone is to drink lots of water. You want to keep the urine from concentrating which can help stones form.Try 8-12 glasses daily although no study on exact amount.
