A member asked:

Ureteral stent removal is tomorrow i have string out of penis. how much pain am i going to experience and if it painful after it is removed?

A doctor has provided 1 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 .
