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. I had a kidney stone around 5mm and had to have it medically "blasted" with a laser that went into my tubes. Be prepared for a hard recovery, but getting it taking care of now is better in the long run.
