Kidney stones can develop over time without causing noticeable symptoms, sometimes taking weeks to months to form. Many small stones may pass unnoticed, while larger stones can lead to symptoms such as pain or discomfort. Some individuals might remain asymptomatic until a stone obstructs the urinary tract or causes an infection. Regular medical check-ups or imaging can help detect kidney stones before they become problematic.

I would highly advise it. Stones 5mm and larger have difficulty passing on their own because of their size, and when they do attempt to exit your body the pain is severe.
