Urologist 's  Response
Hi
I usually advice my patients to go for swimming if they can, to drop those stones.
Dependining on the configuration of the kidney, the fragments may or may not pass.
If they dont pass then you may have to have an operation called PCNL or flexible ureteroscopy to remove it.
I find this answer helpful
