Hi
A calculus of size 0.5 cm may pass by its own in about half the patients. Rest will require surgery to remove it. If your kidney function is normal and if pain is under control then you might prepare to wait . A prescription of tamsulosin might help along with pain killer.

If you have continious pain, fever or if your blood test for kidney function is altered or if fever develops then it is an indication for operation. Please contact an urologist who may guide you appropriately.
