Kidney Stones Blasted. Stent Removed. On Antibiotics. Uncontrolled Urination. Due To Stent Removal?
My father has recently had a stent removed after having his kidney stones blasted. He is in process of taking antibiotics for infection which he gets a lot of, but today has had couple of accidents where he has wet himself. he is worried this will be continuous. Is this side effect from removal or is this something he needs to get use to?

hi,
I dont think his problem will be continuous. He seems to be having urge incontinence which is most likely to be because of urinary tract infection. Get his urine routine examination and culture done and take antibiotic according to culture sensitivity. You have not mentioned if your father is diabetic or not. Get his blood sugar checked. Also get ultrasound of abdomen to see if his prostate is enlarged.
I wish him a sppedy recovery
