good day
majority of patients tolerates an indwelling stent without any symptoms or subjective complaints. although there are is a small portion of patients who feel uncomfortable or pain with an indwelling stent.
i would suggest seeing your urologist and he may prescribe pain medications and relaxants for the ureter and bladder to minimize stent symptoms.
i hope i have answered your question and best wishes.

Hi, many thanks for the query!
Yes, it is the stent that is causing irritation, specifically when you empty your bladder, the collapsed bladder wall comes in contact with the stent there &
causes irritation & pain.
As the stent is known to harbour bacteria, you may be having UTI.
You should do- Urine (R/M) & CBC.
Take antispasmodics, pain killers with your Urologist's opinion.
Drink plenty of water so that at least 2 litres of urine is voided in 24 hrs.
Wish you a good health.
Take care.
