A member asked:
Is it safe to wait 4 months for my kidney stone to be destroyed while having a double j?

Kidney stones: The short answer is, "yes." the only significant complication that could occur would be obstruction with infection. So, if fever occurs, report it to your doctor.

See your urologist: The double j stent will keep urine flowing past an obstruction, but the stone will not be affected by it. Only your urologist can say if it needs lithotripsy or surgical extraction.
