hello I am currently being treated for an abnormally large 16 mm kidney stone for a little over two months .I have had four surgeries from two doctors and I am still hurting and at times unable to urinate well the first surgery was to put in a tube stint that was sticking out of my side for weeks the second surgery was to internalize the tube because it was causing me a lot of pain and no sleep the third was a ureter tube flush out,and last was lipotropsy Its been a week since my last and the symptoms remain I get bloated from eating and everything backs up cant urinate strong burning in penis and contractions so hard for bowel movement and urination , my question is does this sound normal and how long will this continue because the last two months has been excrutiatingly painfull and discomforting in public , it ruining my job its making me on edge where I cant concentrate as well ascausing several other problems like the medicine has bad side effects

Urologist,  's  Response
Hello
Thanks for query .Based on the sequence of events I would summarize your case as follow
1) You had a large obstructing stone in upper ureter hence a urinary diversion called Per Cutaneous Nephrostomy was done to drain yourine from your obstructed kidney which was there for month or so .

Then you had subsequently undergone lithotrisy to fragment the stone .

Now you have difficulty in passing urine and pain in genitals which is mostly due to narrowing of the urethra (Stricture Urethra) developed due to repeated instrumentation .

You need to get Retrograde Cystourothrogram done to confirm the diagnosis and consult your Urologist for further treatment like Visual Internal Urethrotomy (VIU).
