Hi all, Everything has been going alright so far after my kidney stone operation, apart from the allergy rash which is getting better.
Two days ago a dr from urology called me, telling me that I had a stent in my body and scheduled to be removed in two days (today). I was a bit surprised to learn about it as I asked about the stent before and no one informed me about the stent. Anyway, I went there today, was slightly nervous but wasn't scared.
Then waited for dr, the nurse prepared me, put in some numbing gel etc. Then two drs come and put the camera and all inside. It wasn't even too uncomfortable but then when they found the stent and tried pulling it out (at some point the dr asked me take deep breath and then pulled it at once) I bled a lot and it hurt like hell. The drs got baffled and told me that my quick stone making calcification collected some of it around the end of the stent and when they pulled it, it was too harsh.
At that point I freaked out thinking I am having an internal bleeding and looked at the drs. One of them asked if a CT scan is needed to make sure all is fine, then another more experienced dr came in the room, checked me, the stent and looked at the residue and blood on it and told us that a scan is not needed. Instead they all told me that I will sure have red blood and its normal (not just tinted urine) for a couple of days or so, but if I have increased bleeding or if I see clumps or clots then I should go to ER for a scan. Also I need to check my fever to make sure I dont have, and keep an eye on if I have flank pain or if I am not able to pee or not. if so I will rush to ER.
Bleeding seems to be getting better but I can't keep this thought of me somehow being injured somewhere in urinary tract and having internal bleeding, slowly will bleed out and die without noticing it etc. I have super strong burning sensation when peeing tho, almost painful.
I was not sure there so asked the nurse if I really should be having a CT right there, but the nurse told me that the last dr that came to the room was an experienced dr, and if he is not worried then it's ok.
But I was so scared and I am very worried now, should I just try to go to ER and tell them a white lie like I am experiencing a pain and tell them what happened today?
Or just shall keep an eye on everything? how will i know if I am not bleeding inside?
Sorry for the long post, apparently stent removal usually goes smoothly for everyone, but not for people with calcification if they are unlucky like me. I am worried.
