What Causes Intermittent Fever After Stent Removal?

Hi. Just 4 days ago I had a stent removed in the doctors office. When I got home I started running a 103 temperature. They did put me on Cipro for an infection. Well ever since then for four days I have been running fever off and on and still urinating blood. I just want to make sure this is normal and when to expect the fevers to stop. Thanks again

Hello
Thanks for posting at HCM.
You seem to have urinary tract infection due to the stent removal and instrumentation. Also while removing the stent, there is always some local trauma leading to bleeding, which is causing your blood in urine.
An urinary tract infection can take about 7-10 days to subside. But since you are still having fever spikes despite being on antibiotics, please do an urine culture test to see what organism is causing the infection. It will help us also establish whether that organism is susceptible to your antibiotic . Antibiotics can be changed according to culture and sensitivity reports.
wishing you good health
Regards
