Hi,
I am Dr Ali and I am a urologist.
Stents are placed in the ureter their one end is in the kidney and other end is in the bladder ,Lower end which is in the bladder usually irritates bladder area which is sensitive and gives symptoms of frequency urgency and heaviness at low abdomen.
Yes it is possible that stent moves further in the bladder but it is rare.
I advice my patients with stent symptoms to take antispasmodics and painkillers.
Regards
