Kidney Stone Overview, Symptoms, Diagnosis & Treatment Options For a 2mm stone in both kidneys and a 4mm stone in the ureter, the first step is to try and pass the stone naturally. While some medications can aid in passing stones, surgery is typically not needed unless the stone causes pain, infection, or blockage. It's generally safe to wait for 4-6 weeks before considering surgery if the stone hasn't passed and no other complications arise
