A member asked:

I have kidney stones but they are non-obstructive. what should i do to avoid any operation?

Nephrologist: Speak to a nephrologist. Among the general recommendations for kidney stones is to always drink a lot of water and avoid situations that result in concentrating the urine (anything that "dries" you out).
