How many kidney stones can you have?
My uncle recently had kidney stones and he mentioned having several at once. It made me wonder, is there a limit to how many kidney stones a person can have? Like, can you have many, many at once?

My uncle had multiple, like seriously many, over years. It's not just one and done sometimes. Everyone's body is different, so what worked for him might not work for someone else. Best to talk to a doctor.

Actually, you can have quite a few, some tiny and some bigger. My neighbor used to get them every few years. She just started drinking lots and lots of water, and that helped reduce how often they came back. Simple, but effective for her.

Uff, kidney stones, just hearing about them makes me want to drink more water, lol! I've heard people can have one, or even a whole bunch. Maybe it depends on how much chaat and less water you've had in life, haan?

You can have multiple, no specific limit. My friend had like 3-4 small ones detected on one scan. The main thing is to get it checked early. Otherwise, treatment and tests get more expensive if they grow too big or cause complications. Planning is key.

Oh god, don't even get me started. Knowing my luck, if I got one, it would be followed by a whole family reunion of stones. I've heard some people pass several at once, must be torture. Maybe ask a doctor, my brain isn't working today.
