Hello and welcome to HCM.
As an Urologist, let me assure you that, 2mm and 3mm stones need no treatment. They flush out in more than 90% people, just by drinking 12-15 glasses liquids daily. Always get treatment from qualified Urologists.
There's absolutely no indication for stenting, as kidney can't get blocked by such tiny stones. You can stop the cystone tablets and just repeat the ultrasound scan, after a month or two, to confirm, stones have flushed out.
In case of doubt, you can send the scan report to me, as a direct question.
