I was scared ******** of reading this comments about the stent removal. The stent was limiting either my time at work and my walking, a bit more walking and I started bleeding.
The operation to remove the stent was at the end of the afternoon. At the end, while still under anaesthetics influence, I peed, a little bloody, and it was my luck. When I arrived home 1.5 hours later at 7PM, I tried to pee and it was too painful.
Despite having drinks and tea, I managed to hold off passing urine until 4AM, when I did it very slowly, almost drop by drop, and it took around half hour to empty my bladder. Less bloody now, too. Almost same thing in the morning time when I woke up.
During the day, it was much easier, but I tried to control the urination for it to be in small bursts. In this day following the operation I managed to drink a whooping 6L of mineral water. During the night, I managed to wake 5 times to pee and drink water.
I am already in the 2nd day, and almost back to normal while peeing, only a small discomfort feeling when I finish.
So if you are reading this...it is not that complicated for everyone.
i am going through the same thing had the laser thing done didnt work went in and had it removed with stint . Therr days after i was in the er with so much pain they had to put in a catheter . Two days after that they removed the catheter and stint and bout four days same thing back to the er with yet another catheter ! I called the dr at the time of going to ther er and tried to get with him he said he could not see me till 10:30 this was 7:00 am i said i am about to bust so went to the er . When i called the dr and told him they put in a catheter and needed to see him asap he told me to keep my app on the 10th and dont worry about it ! So i did so and on the 7th i was back in the er with massive blood clots in my cath bag and lots of blod back to the er and he decided to see me that morning . I went to his office and his nurse took my info they removed the catheter and filled me with fluid and made me pee. I did so and he said i was fine took me off all my pain meds and sent me home . Im still hurting and having trouble urinating and eating ibuprofen like crazy ! Didnt know this was going to be like this i have forced myself to urinate for three days now and i only urinate maybe twice a day! I know i have to go but nothing happens most of the time and when i do its very pain full.
Thank you so much for the response. I have been feeling so lost. I have tried Ditropan doesn't seem to work too much. Pyridium works a little. I have Detrol LA I was taking before the surgery maybe I should start taking that one again. I just am tired of the toliet being my best friend.
And yes the doctor should have advised me about the affects of the Percocet. I have never used narcotics for any lenght of time. It was a lesson learned. Thank you again.
"Frequency of Urination" is fairly common post stent removal. I hate to say this, but call your urologist and ask for a 'bladder relaxer'. I've taken both Detrol & Ditropan, and had good luck with them, but there are a TON of others out there.
As for the constipation after taking the narcotic pain-killers, yup... it goes with the territory. Your doctor really should have advised you to take a stool-softener along with the Percocets. Lesson learned, I would say. I've had that type of constipation before, and there's nothing quite like it.
Honestly, I wouldn't sweat the 'peeing all the time' thing unless it persists after you're taking the bladder relaxer. THEN I'd worry about it.
Good luck to you!
