Is Swimming Advisable With Stent Placement In Children?
My husband had a kidney stone removed 2 days ago, it was blasted with a laser and he has a uretal stent (no string), to allow any remaining fragments to pass. Can he go swimming while the stent is in place? He has an appointment to have it removed 2 weeks from now.

Hello
Thanks for query .
Your husband has undergone endoscopic surgery for fragmentation od stone in ureter and D.J stent has been placed in his renal unit .
The D.J stent is made of inert material that is compatible with human body and has no side effects of any nature .
It does not give any pain or discomfort hence one can have his normal physical activities or moderate exercise like swimming etc.
