A member asked:
What can cause bladder spasms after lipotripsy or eswl?
3 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Indwelling stent: Ureteral stent tube, between kidney & bladder commonly is cause. Stents are used with percutaneous kidney or uretoscopic lithotripsy to facilitate healing, & sometimes with extensive eswl to avoid ureteral obstruction by stone fragments (steinstrasse). Curly end of stent irritates bladder & causes spasms.

Yes, if...: Yes, if cystoscopy, ureteroscopy, or ureteral stent is needed or stone fragments stuck in distal ureter. Otherwise, no spasm.
