Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thanks for posting your query on HealthCareMagic.
A 3.4 mm calculi/ stone in the kidney (lower calcyx is a part of kidney) has to be managed conservatively.
Surgery is not indicated at this stage as the stone is very small.
At this stage you need to drink plenty of fluids especially water.
Citric acid rich juices also help to dissolve the stones.
If conservative measures are carried out properly, the stone can dissolve and can be flushed away.
However, you need to get ultrasound of the kidney-urinary bladder-bladder area after 6 months to 1 year.
Alon with kidney stone there is a gall stone also.
Cholecystectomy is the management of gall stones.
Gall stone can cause inflammation of the gall bladder and it can precipitate an attack of acute cholecystectomy.
You need to consult a surgeon for planning surgery.
Such small cysts are of no consequence to the patient.
Cysts are common in ovaries. Follicular cysts develop in the ovary in each ovarian cycle.
Some of these cysts can enlarge and can show up as cysts.
There is nothing to worry for the ovary cysts.
If you have more queries, I will be glad to answer.

Brief Answer:
Consult gynecologist for ovary cyst.
Detailed Answer:
Hello and welcome again,
You need not worry about tiny cysts in liver since it is asymptomatic.
Have you ever experienced post-menopausal bleeding i.e. menstruation after it stopped for 6 months or any other symptom pertaining to your reproductive system?
After menopause the ovaries undergo atropy and finding cyst is unusual.
You can visit your gynecologist with your report.
A clinical examination is required and relevant investigations may be required to find out the nature of the cystic lesion in the ovary.
Thanks
