Ask to have a catheter put in while you are asleep in surgery.
The worst pain I experienced was trying to urinate after the surgery. You also have to get help to get up every single time, and moving around isn't fun. Then I ended up having a blood clot blocking in my bladder and had to have a catheter put in. As you can imagine, if urinating was extremely painful, getting the catheter put in was a nightmare. That area is heavily irritated after the surgery. When I had a follow up at an actual urologist later on, the nurse could not believe I had that done while I was awake right after the surgery.
So if you have the catheter put in while you are asleep in surgery you don't have to worry about pain when urinating after, trying to get up to go to the bathroom, having a blood clot blocking in your bladder, or experiencing the terrible pain of having the catheter put in. You can just rest in your bed and heal.
Also just an FYI, I was terrified of having pain with the stent removal and it wasn't bad at all! It's actually really relieving and you feel so much better when it's no longer there.
Hope this helps someone out there!View Thread

Thank you, I just found this out this past week because I almost had this done. Please have your urologist and nephrologist schedule all the tests. They are the most informed.View Thread
