Q: can kidney stone go away on its own?

: A kidney stone can pass on its own, if it is small enough. It is typically a painful process and it can lead to blood in the urine. See a doctor if you think you have a kidney stone and stay hydrated. Not all kidney stones are small enough to pass on their own. Good luck to you!
