I cannot give specific medical advice, so don't construe this as "doctor's recommendation," but more GENERALLY, it depends on the type and cause of the stones. A Urologist may be needed if they are too large to pass on their own. To prevent future stones, it depends on stone type but almost always includes increasing fluid intake to at least 2-3 liters a day.
