Question: I had a ureteroscopy yesterday to remove a 13mm stone and had a urethane stent placed. It was beyond uncomfortable and the string was pulling. Dr feels the end may have move to urethra going through prostate. Any he took it out today. I have voided several times with a fair amount of red blood.
