Hi Dear,

Welcome to HCM.

Understanding your concern. As per your query you have difficulty to urinate post stent removal. Well there can be many reasons for symptoms you mention in query like recurrence of stones, stricture in the ureter or inflammation. I would suggest you to consult urologist again without any delay . Doctor may order ultrasound to confirm the diagnosis . Doctor may treat according to diagnosis and to prevent scaring in case of stricture .

Hope your concern has been resolved.

Get Well Soon.

Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
