Accepted Answer

Yep!: Happens frequently. You may even feel it. Check with your urologist if you can’t void.  I have had to cystoscope patients and remove the stone or fragment

Question 2

is it normal to get kidney stone like pain after a cystoscopey to clean out the urethra of debris?

Accepted Answer

Cystoscopy. : If a stone was broken up, you may be passing some fragments of the stone, and as such you may feel some symptoms. But if this occurs for more than 2-3 days after the cystoscopy, or if your pain is worsening, or if you’re having fevers, you should see the Urologist.

Question 3

what can i do to get a 9mm kidney stone unstuck from the base of my urethra? i can put my finger on it if i push to the very base of my penis?

Accepted Answer

: It is better to see your urologist, especially you have symptom of bladder distention. If you do not have any problem with voiding, you can try to flush it out with vigorous hydration for 24 hours then see the urologist if stone is still stuck. I doubt the stone can manually retracted.

Question 4

how do you get a urethral stent surgically implanted to fix kidney stones?

Accepted Answer

Ureteral: You are referring to a ureteral stent. It is placed through a cystoscope.How do you know this is what you need. If you know you have a stone go to a urologist.

Question 5

Question 6

i have a 5mm kidney stone. i'd like to know when, during elimination, will it be the most painful? ureteter, bladder or urethra? i'm a male.

Accepted Answer

Ureter: More than likely the worse pain is when the stone is passing down the ureter and into bladder.   You may get some pain or discomfort urinating the stone out.

Question 7

i have a kidney stone stuck at the very tip of my urethra about a quarter inch from the head it's been stuck there now for three days cannot pass it t?

Accepted Answer

See a urologist: You need to be evaluated.  If you can not pass it, it can lead to not passing urine, which can lead to hydronephrosis.   Not to mention pain and infection.  In the mean time, drink plenty of water and if you aren't able to urinate at all, or pain is too severe, go to ER.

Question 8

what prevents kidney stones from damaging the urethra?

Accepted Answer

Water: The best way to prevent damage from kidney stones is preventign them  therefore drinking atleast 2 to 3 liters of water will help.  If you already have stones, the majority of them are small and will pass through the bladder and urethra without causing any damage.  However if you have large stones that are painful, it will require the help of a urologist.

Question 9

what can you do to pass small kidney stones stuck in the urethra?

Accepted Answer

By urinating: Drink lots of fluids and let nature take her course. At least for a woman, you're only dealing with a 1" urethra. Men have to pass through the prostatic portion and a 6" length of penile urethra!

Question 10

is it possible to feel a kidney stone (large enough to be stuck in the ureters) exit the urethra in females?

Accepted Answer

Ureteric stone: Small renal stone may or may not be felt passing through female urethra since it is short and straight. Also depends on orientation and shape of stone. Best way to catch stone is to strain urine.
