Guess then you don't have any symptoms as of now. These small stones are usually seen in USG scan. It could either be stones or calcification in kidney. USG cannot differentiate them. Anyway you can take measures to prevent further stone formation. Take adequate fluids. Avoid too much nonveg. Even is they are stones they are very small and should pass off in urine.
