A member asked:
I had my urethral stent removed 6 days ago and now i have started to get a throbbing pain inside my left side (where the stent was) is this normal?

Yes, normal: Contact your doctor and let her/him know you are having pain and have them do further testing (urinalysis) if necessary. This needs to be documented in your medical record.

URETERAL stent: Hi. From your description, I suspect you had a ureteral stent, NOT a urethral stent. If your left ureter was stented, and now with stent removed, it's painful, I suggest you contact the urologist sooner than later. I don't know what your pathology is, but this sounds concerning to me. Good luck!
