You do not need surgery at present. Wait and watch. Drink plenty of fluids.
Detailed Answer:
Thanks for asking on HealthcareMagic.
I have gone carefully through your query and understand your concerns. Let me try to answer your queries one by one:
(A), (C), (D) The size of stone is small. The location is important. If it is at the lower pole, as found in the ultrasonogram, it might not come out. But if it can move to the pelvicalyceal system, it would easily come out even without surgery. The policy therefore would be wait and watch. You also need to drink plenty of water.
(B) No specific health risk on travelling abroad. The only apprehension is that you might get sudden pain at times.
(D), (E) As of now I do not think that any further investigation is needed.
(F) Removal of stone using lithotrypsy (through soundwave) is not painful. You need not worry.
Let me know if I could help further.
