A member asked:

Can you pass 6mm kidney stones?

A doctor has provided 1 answer
Dr. Casey Ng answered

Yes, but.....: Yes, I have seen patients pass stone that is 9mm in diameter. However, many 6mm stones do not pass on their own. The likelihood of passing stone greater than 4mm decreases with increasing size.
