Hello,
I can understand your problem.
Since the calculus is non obstructing and there is no hydronephrosis(swelling up of kidney due to obstruction) their is no need to worry. Just drink plenty of fluids, add cranberry juices in diet. Avoid calcium supplements. If the stone increases in size or obstructs in a later date you will be a asked either to undergo a eswl or a pcnl procedure depending on the size of the stone. As of now no measures are required.
