What Causes Gas In Stomach After Having Stent For Kidney Stones?
Just had stint put in on Tuesday on right side for Kidney stones and I have had alot of gas in my stomach for two days that i've noticed. Could it be from the medication or the stint and what can I do for it? Also when will the pain go down? I'm feeling awful everyday and won't have stint out till next Friday.

Hello and welcome to HCM.
As an Urologist,i can understand your concern.
Remember that a stent will never cause gas formation.
After stone treatment,you're advised to drink about 3 liters fluids daily.
If you consume it before meals,it'll lead to gas and bloating of abdomen.
You should drink the fluids, after taking meals and don't drink 4-5 liters.
After stenting,you can do regular exercises,which prevents gas formation.
If you have more doubts,send the reports to me,as a direct question.
