A member asked:
How much water should i be drinking with a 2mm kidney stone? in simple terms how many cups should i be drinking through out the day i want this out!
A doctor has provided 1 answer
2-3 liters/day: Hydration will help prevent this stone from growing and prevent future stones from forming. Depending on where this 2mm stone is located, hydration may also help it to pass. Size of the stone affects the likelihood of passage. Strain your urine and save the stone. See a urologist.
