Are kidney stones rare?
My mother keeps telling me to drink more water to avoid kidney stones, but I rarely hear of anyone getting them. Are kidney stones actually rare, or is it more common than I think?

They are actually not rare at all! I used to panic thinking I had some rare disease when my back hurt, but my doctor said thousands of people get them. Still, please don't ignore it and get a proper checkup so you don't worry like me.

Not rare at all, bro. Two of my batchmates in college had them last semester because they only drank cola and forgot water. It's super common, so just keep chugging water!

They are very common in India. If you think you have one, don't worry about high costs; a basic abdominal ultrasound at a local lab costs around 800-1200 rupees. Finding out early saves you from expensive emergency bills later.

They are extremely common, especially in hot weather. No need to panic, just drink 3-4 liters of water daily, avoid too much salty food, and consult your local doctor for a simple and affordable treatment plan.

No, they are actually very common. So don't feel scared or think you are alone in this. Just take a deep breath, go get a quick doctor's consultation, and keep drinking plenty of fluids. I'm here if you need help.

Rare? Not at all. Almost every second house has someone with kidney stones. Stop overthinking, go to a doctor, get an ultrasound, and get it treated. Simple as that.
