What Causes Severe Pain While Urinating After Removing Kidney Stones?
My husband is 60 and just had surgery to remove kidney stones. They used the laser and basket and put a stent inside. Since he has come home he has been in escruciating pain and it kills him to urinate. Nobody told him it would be this painful. Is this normal?
Hello and welcome to HCM. As an Urologist, i can understand your anxiety. The stent does cause pain in some people,when it moves. Some people are more sensitive to this pain and need treatment for this. Also,drinking fluids about 3 liters daily, helps greatly. Some people have stone fragments passing down alongside the stent. This is the cause for the pain and burning sensation,while passing urine. Gradually,pain reduces and after stent removal,will disappear completely. If you've any doubts,send it as a direct question to me. Dr.Matthew J. Mangat.
