"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!
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.
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.
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.
