Small enough to pass: Spontaneously from kidney to bladder. Drink lots of fluid ; get lots of fluid. Could even try doing handstands against the wall to dislodge. However, do not worry if it remains symptom free, i.E no pain. Shock-wave lithotripsy (eswl) or ureterocopic laser lithotripsy or stone basket extraction would be "overkill" at present. Follow-up can always be done by ultrasound. Good luck.
