Will A 2 Mm Kidney Stone In My Kidney Dissolve On Its Own?

I have just passes a 3mm kidney stone that was in my ureter. The CT scan also showed a 2mm non obstructing calculi in lower pole of my kidney. Could this possibly just stay there or dissolve on it s own or do all kidney stones need to pass eventually?

HI
Well come to HCM
No this would not dissolve but this need to keep under observation this may comes out of the kidney and eventually comes down in the bladder but not sure how much time this could take, if this is much painful and causing some other complication then this need to be operated, have a nice day.
