All you need to know about Ureteral Stent?

What is ureteral stent?

A ureteral stent is a thin plastic tube that helps dispose of urine from the kidney to the bladder. A stent is used when the bladder cannot empty itself for several reasons; it is majorly used in treating kidney stones. 

 What is a ureter?

A ureter is a thin tube-like structure in the central part of the abdomen. Typically there is one ureter for each kidney. However, some people are born with two ureters for one kidney or one ureter per kidney. 

 What is a stent?

A stent is a hollow tube placed in the ureter for helping the urine to dispose from the kidney to the bladder. The stent has small bends on both ends to sit well, one curl is in the kidney, and the second curl is in the bladder. A ureteral stent can be placed due to many reasons like inability to dispose of the urine, difficulty in urination or excessive urination. 




 

A ureteral tube can be blocked for many reasons: Kidney stones are the primary cause of the blockage, narrowing the urethral tube or external factors like a tumour or after a surgery when the ureteral tube needs to get heal. Always choose a Ureteral stent supplier who can provide you with assured quality.

 

What are the symptoms caused by stents?

There are various repercussions of installing stents like:

  • Blood in urine: the urine can be pinkish to dark red colour. 
  • Burning with urination: the burning can be from minimal to moderate, and it can be cured by increasing liquid intake and eliminating certain foods. 
  • Frequency and urgency of urine: the frequency of urination can be more than usual, or you can frequently feel the urgency to go. 
  • You can feel a cramp-like sensation in the lower abdomen. 

 

When should I contact my doctor?

When you feel the following symptoms, you should immediately consult a doctor:

  • A constant dark coloured urine which does not ease with extra intake of liquids. 
  • If you see any thick clots in the urine, which causes discomfort.
  • Urine retention means you are not able to urine at all. 
  • Severe pain which does not eases with any medications or fever.
