Around 90% of small kidney stones (smaller than 6 mm) and 60% of large stones (larger than 6 mm) pass on their own. If you have a large kidney stone or one that's blocking the flow of pee, you'll need to have a procedure to break up and/or remove it

I have a 4 mm stone in my ureter and I'm really worried will it pass on its own or do I need surgery

Conservative therapy is advised since the stone is small.
