Pediatrician 's  Response
Hi,
Thank you for asking question on health care magic.
The calculus in the kindney needs observation as it i not causing any symptoms.
if the stone comes into the uterus and cause obstruction, it causes pain and back pressure leading to hydronephrosis.
At that time some times surgery may be needed.
Hope this answer will serve your purpose
Please feel free to ask any more queries if required
Take care
