My husband has been diagnosed with kidney stones this past week and passed three of them.  He normally drinks a great amount of water/ice tea and juice per day- 8-10 glasses.  He is still having pain. He has a hernia from lifting a/c units for about 2 years now, does that have anything to do with it?  Also, he smokes pot once in a while not regularly, would that contribute to the formation of the kidney stones?
HelloThanks for query. Your father has been detected to have stones in the kidney and Inguinal Hernia. At the outset I would state that the stones he had in kidney are not due to inguinal hernia. Kidney stones are usually formed due following many reasons 1) UTI2) Metabolic disorders of Calcium.phosphate and Oxalate 3) Concentrated urine due to Chat Doctor.  4) Hereditary factors 5) High atmospheric temperature (Hot Climate)6) Obstructed urine flow.
