Your stone is 0.4 cm or 4 mm in size. Extracorporeal shockwave lithotripsy may be indicated for stones that are less than 2 cm but more than 3mm.This is also indicated for at most 3 stones.
You may discuss this with your physician so you may be given options for your case. At this point, we can not exactly say if you can directly pass a stone of this size in your urine. Although do continue to take plenty of water . Exercise daily to improve circulation and to hasten removal of waste products from the body.
Your previous history of stones in the urinary tract may increase your risk for recurrent urinary stone development.
Keep us posted with regards to your progress.
