Last night i had 2 kidney stones removed and a stent was put in that i'm suppose to remove at home in 4 days.the string caught on my underwear and was slightly pulled. it doesn't feel right but isn't painful. is it dangerous if it's removed early?

Not clear from your post if the stent was significantly pulled outward. There are good reasons for the stent to remain for several days. Contact your doctor and let her (him) know what has happened, as a direct exam may be helpful.

If it was pulled an inch or so it will be ok but if more- pl call your Urologist for advice. Stents are placed to prevent obstruction and pain due to local swelling after the procedure or some left over gravel. Hope you do well
