Dear,
Thanks for your query.
You have a non obstructive stone in the kidney and nothing much to worry about.
However, you certainly need to get treatment for the same.
You should get yourself investigated with urine examination, serum calcium and uric acid levels. These may point to a specific abnormality that is causing the stones. If a specific abnormality is found such as hyperuricemia then the stone may be dissolved with specific medications.
Most of the times no reason can be identified for stone formation and patient needs to follow generalized measures in life that shall prevent further stone formation. You have to remember that once a stone former is always a stone former.
Your stone is fairly large and its chances of passing by itself in urine are pretty low. It is a misconception that drinking beer flushes out the stone. Infact studies have shown that drinking beer decreases the spontaneous stone passage rate.
You should get yourself further investigated with CT urogram and subsequently subject the stone to ESWL (shockwave lithotripsy). Your stone is the right size for it and it shall give you excellent clearance of the stone in a minimally invasive fashion.
Wish you good health.
