Urinary frequency is not one of the symptoms that indicate a renal stone. Urine volume, however, is one the indication, along with Hematuria, colic pain, or pain when urinating.

Urinary frequency is more often a symptom of a urinary tract infection or diabetes. It can also be caused by BPH (benign prostatic hypertrophy) in men. Other causes of frequent urination are overactive bladder, interstitial cystitis, prostate cancer, congestive heart failure, multiple myeloma, and fibromyalgia. It also occurs post kidney stones.

In some cases it might indicate this. However, it is more common to have a decrease in urinary frequency with renal stones. If you suspect renal stones, it is always best to talk to your physician.
