My 2mm stone has been there several years and they will not take out. I don't even know if this is the cause of my pain, but my doctor does not seem to care. Chronic UTIS has taken over my life. My bladder pain is with or without UTIS. Thank you for your response

Is the stone in the lower pole of the kidney? Those have to fight gravity to pass. The ureter is 4mm so a 2mm should pass on its own. Struvite stones grow quickly due to the UTI giving them the building blocks they need. In July I had a 4mm and 7mm in left kidney. In December these same stones were 20mm and 24mm.
It’s not likely the stone is embedded with bacteria given its size. That doesn’t mean it can’t eventually occur. Keep an eye on the size.
