Stone Disease: Patient Education from University of Colorado Hospital

Living With Stone Disease

Once you have had stone disease, you are likely to experience more stones. It is important to drink larger amounts of fluid, specifically water. In addition, your doctor might suggest restricting certain foods from your diet that can contribute to stone disease. Also, there are medications to help control things that cause stone disease.

If you have experienced stone disease, a urologist can work with you to identify the cause and possible treatments.
