0.4cm kidney stone. How should it be treated.

Patient's question:

Have a physical examination. Ultrasound revealed a visible strong echo cluster of about 0.4 cm with a shadow in the upper part of the renal sinus. It's likely a stone. No other abnormalities were found. Kidney function is normal. Urinalysis is normal. How should it be treated?

Doctor's answer:

Hello, if your current stone size is only 0.4, then it's not a big problem. You just need to pay attention to drinking more water and exercising more, so the stone can be expelled from your body. Because the diameter of the ureter is about 5-6 millimeters, your stone cannot get stuck.
Advice: It is recommended that you focus on drinking more water and exercising more, so the stone can be expelled from your body. There is no need to take any medication.
