Question 1

is it possible for me to have sex when i have kidney stent?

Accepted Answer

Yes: By 'kidney stent', do you mean an internal  catheter which goes from the kidney to the bladder,  or, do you mean a metal stent in the kidney artery to keep it open?  Either way, there is no reason you would not be able to have sex.

Accepted Answer

Just don't worry: the purpose of the stent is severed ,  your doctor will just pull the string to remove the it . some need mild sedation brave one like you may not need one ! and few days of discomfort  and burning  Drink plenty of water . Ask your doctor before removal .

Question 3

No: It is recommend no heavy lifting or exercising (jogging, swimming, treadmill, biking) until cleared by your doctor.

Question 4

Accepted Answer

Depends: Life long (in kidney artery) or usually three months or longer depending on type of stent (in the ureter) and also depends on reason for stent, but is it in kidney artery or ureter as kidney doesn't really need stents unless kidney artery is tightly narrow or unless ureter is blocked due to some condition!

Question 6

Stent removal: Not all urologists give sedation for stent removal. If it is given, it's usually conscious sedation with versed.

Question 7

my kidney stent started comimg out on its own. can that be because of drinking 2 pints of vodka? if not that, why could it be?

Accepted Answer

I doubt your stent: is coming out because of the vodka, though in general alcohol intake promotes dehydration and may also promote more frequent urination. Not sure why your stent was placed...? kidney stones.  Presume it was due to come out shortly anyway. Would certainly contact your Urologist to see if early removal/intervention is warranted. Good wishes:)

Question 8

are they supposed to put you to sleep during a kidney stent ? i hear yes but i only got a shot and was awake . it was torture.

Accepted Answer

Anesthesia varies: For placement of a ureteral stent, a variety of anesthetics can be used.  If a kidney stone needs to be treated prior to stent placement then a general anesthetic is typically used.  If a stent alone needs to be placed, sedation is often used.  In your case, the stent may needed to have been placed emergently/urgently, necessitating less anesthesia.  Talk to your urologist about this.

Question 9

i had a kidney stent put in on friday. the catheter came out yesterday and since then i am in alot of pain. i am taking stilpayne but it is not very effective. prior to the catheter coming out i had a little discomfort but limited pain. is this norma?

Accepted Answer

Normal: Yes-normal and you should notify your nephrologist asap to rule out infection.

Question 10

how does the doctor put in a kidney stent?

Accepted Answer

Via a cystoscope: The doctor will need to look into your bladder with an instrument called a cystoscope. He/she will be able to see the opening where the ureter empties into the bladder and place a stent up to the kidney.
