See a urologist.: The management of multiple kidney stones depends on the size, position, and location of the stones. If they are small & unobstructing, they may be observed. If treatment is necessary, many techniques such as shockwave lithotripsy, ureteroscopy with laser lithotripsy and removal are possible. Large stones may require pcnl or percutaneous removal. See a urologist for assessment and evaluation.

Size matters: If they are causing no symptoms, there is typically no treatment except for recommending hydration. If the stones are causing symptoms and are too large, usually larger than 4 or 5 mm, lithotripsy can be performed or surgical intervention.
