Talk to experienced doctor online and get your health questions answered in just 5 minutes.
Usually kidney stones less than 4mm will pass by itself....4-6 mm stones need medication, above 6mm needs surgical intervention by urologist.
Sometimes ultrasound cannot judge exact size of stone and with time stone size may increase too.
Increase in urination can be due to increase water intake or urine infection. To clarify all these, consult urologist.

You have to have lots of patience for a kidney stone to pass. If you are in a hurry you should get operated.
No time frame for the movement of the stone.
