You should get complete metabolic evaluation done as your are young in age and should not have 3 stones. The risk is if those stones increase in size or number, it may damage the kidneys. The cause of stone formation should be evaluated.
Next Steps
Drink plenty of fluids.

Those stones need to be cleared first. Ideal procedure is RIRS. No point in metabolic evaluation without clearing the stones. Consult a urologist
