Does Recovery From Kidney Stone Removal Surgery Take Long?

I had a uteroscopy on Nov. 10 to remove a kidney stone lodged in my ureter. They put in a stent and I had it removed on nov. 29th. I had not had sex since the procedure til today and there was blood in my semen. Also had pain upon orgasm. Though I was healed since I have not seen any blood in my urine for the past few days. I assume this is normal since taking out the stent was invasive and the catheter used was pretty large. Am I prematurely getting back to my normal life etc? Is this normal considering the circumstances? How long is the recovery process to having a uter stent removed? Also having some lower back pain. May or may not be related since I do have a jam on lower vertebrae. Thank you for you time!

Hi,

The stress and irritation that came from cystoscopy stent removal and from the stent itself while it was in your body may be causing the discomfort that you are feeling now. Symptoms may last for 1 to 2 weeks then afterwards you will be perfectly fine.

Just make sure you're drinking a lot of fluids around 2 to 3 liters of water a day in your life to prevent another stone recurrence.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Manuel C See IV, Urologist
