Hi

Welcome to HCM and thanks for your query.
5 mm stone does not require any interventional procedures.
It requires conservative management like---
1. Plenty of oral fluids.
2. Diet low in salt and red meat.
3. Reduced intake of alcohol.
The last two contain high uric acid and hence it is wise to avoid them.
With this method, the stone either comes out in the urine or gets dissolved.
Wishing you good health.
