Does staying hydrated dramatically decrease chances of getting kidney stones?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Hydration helps.: The substances that form kidney stones are more apt to crystallize in a more concentrated urine. So staying hydrated keep the urine more dilute, receding the chance of this crystallization.
