Hello,

Blood in urine causes coffee colored urine and it lasts for 3-5 days after stent placement. But it won't last for 2 weeks. You need to be evaluated for coffee colored urine. Stent removal causes mild pain. The pain is less and tolerance is better with flexible cystoscopy method of stent removal. Still you may have pain and blood in urine for 3-4days.

Please do consult your urologist and report your urine color. He will check for any.
1) Urinary tract infection
2) Large stone causing obstruction
3) Stent infection

Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Pallavi M., Anesthesiologist
