I Have A Stent Placed, And Have Large Kidney Stone, What Should I Do?
I had a stent placed to help me urinate while a large kidney stone is present. I was referred to a Urological center for stone and stent removal but due to the high costs of the previous procedure and hospital visit, I am now broke and cannot afford the drive/co-pay for this new one. What should I do

Hello and welcome to HCM.
As an Urologist, i must advise you to go to a government medical college hospital, where treatment is free of cost.
A large stone, (??size), if affecting the kidney, must come out, because it damages the kidney function.
If you can send me the details, i can guide you better.
You may send the reports as a direct question in my name, to get an expert opinion.
