Type of stone
I just expelled 4mm kideny stone. How can I know what type of stone it is so I can take further precautions? I had kideny stone earlier as well.

Send the stone for stone analysis to know the exact composition. Also get a urine routine microscopy which can give idea about the type of stone you form by finding the crystals in urine. Knowing the type of stones can help in making some lifestyle modifications which may help you to prevent stone formation episode in future.
