My brother just found out he has a kidney stone, and he's quite worried about it. We're trying to gather information; I wanted to ask if kidney stones can actually be removed, or if they always have to pass on their own.

Of course they can be removed! Doctors have got laser guns and sound waves nowadays to blast them like some sci-fi movie. You don't have to carry those unwanted rocks forever, don't worry.

Yes they can be, but please don't start trying crazy home remedies you see on YouTube. Some of those can make your kidney health worse. Go to a qualified urologist, get a scan, and let them decide how to remove it.

Yes, absolutely. Small ones can actually pass on their own if you keep your hydration high and do light brisk walking, provided your doctor says it's okay to move. For larger ones, medical procedures are very simple and effective.

Yes, they can be removed quite safely. In our family, we used to drink banana stem juice to help with small stones, but modern medical treatments are very advanced now. Definitely consult a good doctor to find the best way for your size.

Yes, they are very easy to remove. Depending on the size, they either use medicine to flush them out, lithotripsy, or a minor laser surgery. Just go to a proper hospital and they will get it sorted in a day.
