hello there.
since you are having multiple stones, hydration therapy alone wont help you.
you will have to go for a surgery.
it's called shock wave therapy.
in this there will be no incision and its very safe. shockwaves are used to break the stones into a smaller fragments which can easily pass through urine.
consult a urologist for further help.
