I had a ureteral stent to my right kidney put in 3 weeks ago after a hysterectomy (there was a kink in the ureteral) - I will sometimes have blood in my urine if I have been on my feet too long or perhaps not drank enough fluids - but in the last couple days - I have been experiencing some sharp back pain after emptying my bladder - it is only for that moment - but worries me since it is the same pain I experienced in determining the kink. Should I be concerned that something is not right with the stent - or could it be contributed to activity / fluids?
HelloThanks for query. The blood in urine after putting stent is common and is due to foreign body reaction of Ureteral mucosa (Urethritis) to stent, and it gets resolved by Chat Doctor. The pain in flank while urinating is due to fact that while urinating when bladder contracts to pump out the urine through urethra some amount of urine goes back upwards through the lumen of the stent in to kidney giving rise to increase in renal pelvis pressure and there by pain in flanksThere is nothing to be worried about it is will get resolved once the stent is removed.
