A member asked:

I keep geting kidney stones & kidney infections no matter what i do & even with medicines... why? whats the problem?....

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Urinary stones: Very often the organisms will reside within the stones, which may be very difficult to eliminate entirely, and as soon as you are off meds they reinfect you. You may need to discuss with a urologist and and infectious diseases expert and work this difficult issue out. Bad problem and hope it gets resolved.
