Yes, if the stone is smaller than 7mm then it can pass via urine within 45 days to 3 months. If it is larger than 7mm then it has to be surgically removed.

Dr. Hema Suggests...

Take a Xpert Annual Health Check-Up Test or Take a INSULIN (PP) Test

Left kidney shows mild hydronephrosis due to 17.5 mm calculus in upper ureter. This is my report. Doctor says to do laser operation quickly to pass the stone as the other kidney may get damaged because it swells up due to the stone.
