What Causes Pain In Urethra After Stent Removal?

Posted on Wed, 4 Feb 2015

Question: It still feels like the stint is inside. The dull ache never went away after stent removal.. I see Dr. on the 27th. All other bodily functions returned and appear normal enough.

I am discussing my concern regarding the continuing dull ache after the stents removal. Not pain! When sitting not when standing or laying down horizontally.
