What Causes Pain And Discomfort After The Placement Of Stent In The Kidney?
My friend just had a stent placed in her kidney today because she had blockage that was not allowing it to drain properly.She is in a large amount of pain and discomfort,mostly due to the fact that it burns when she urinates.I had the same procedure done a little less than a year ago and was prescribed Prosed DS to alleviate the problem.She has no known drug allergies.I'm curious as to what the reasoning could be behind only giving her antibiotics and nothing for the burning or pain.

Hello and welcome to HCM.
As an Urologist,i can understand your anxiety.
A stent is commonly placed to relieve inflammation and infection in kidney.
A kidney that's blocked,has infected urine.That's why stent has been placed.
It takes a few days to get used to the pain, as the stent moves inside.
You can take the same Prosed DS and it can relieve the pain very much.
Continue to drink about 2-3 liters fluids daily.
If you've any doubts,send it to me as a direct question.
