A member asked:

I had a stent put in a few dys ago. i have a kdney stone .i am 2 have a lithotripsy in 5 dys. i was told i could exercise. can i do squats safely?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Not a good idea : Ureteral stents course right along the psoas muscle, a powerful muscle that allows you to flex at the hip. Repeated squats may cause the stent to irritate the ureter and cause bleeding or pain. Exercises that that cause hip flexion are not a good choice while a stent is in. Hope this helps.
