Kidney stones may or may not pass on its own depending on individuals. Stones between size 4 mm to 6 mm can pass without any medicines or medical assistance. It could take an average of 45 days for kidney stones to completely exit from the body. But stones bigger than 6 mm will most probably need medical assistance.
