Hi
Thanks for your query.
If the stones are 5mm or less in size, there is a chance that they might pass down naturally. You can drink plenty of water to help the process. If there is no change after 4-6 weeks, consult a urologist.
We need to do a metabolic work up to see if you have any predisposition to form stones and take further preventive steps accordingly.
Hope this helps
Good luck
