A few months back I had X-Rays and ultrasound tests made to see if I had a kidney or gall bladder stone. They did find a 13mm gallbladder stone, but no kidney. Two weeks ago I went through a cystoscopy that did not detect anything wrong.

Last week I was at the public washroom when all of sudden I saw a stone in the "rubber net" in the urinal! I took it and put in a bottle and took it to a lab. My question is: Can a kidney stone of that size go undetected by X-Rays and ultra-sound?

[coas84]

It seems highly unlikely that a stone of that size went undetected. However, if they made you drink a dye, it could have hidden the stone from sight.

A cystoscopy is essentially a manual search in your body, and again, it's not a perfected science. It is plausible, but again, unlikely.

The stone may have formed rapidly, but at that size it should have been seen. I recommend a new doctor...

dude iv had just about the same sceneiro as you but its my first stint and today is the day for it to come out yet the doctor says i can do it myself at home no tool simply string loop on my penis that i have to yank out please advice i havent taken pain meds for two day just so that they will complety kick my ass i hope

[coas84]

While I haven't had the experience of in-home treatments, I have heard of some stents being looped outside the hole of the penis (for easy removal).

If you are uncomfortable performing this task (and rightfully should be), I would ask the doctor to do it for you.

Again, I don't know this procedure, but if you have to stick anything inside your penis, it could cause infection or permanent damage to the nerves (making sexual interactions less fun!)

Good luck!

dude i woke up this morning and took a piss and i started pissin blood my dad said its probally a kidney stone it hurts like hell could you give me some info being some one who has dealt with it, would be much appreciated!

Urinating blood can be a scary thing. Sometimes the problem can go away on it's own, but if the urine becomes darker and darker, or you are suddenly in pain, it's time to go to the hospital.

Okay, I just surgery today and bad news. It is still there because entering the ureter was too small to get the camera through. So I got stent put in to stretch it. A dual pain is a 3 scale from 1 to 5. After waking up, peeing and the pain was bad due to the stent. But most people are concerned about urinating after the surgery, yes, it will hurt but not a burning sensation but a powerful sting for males. I am going threw it and it is close to feeling a needle deeply scrathing your skin.

[crazybassjammer]

Does it burn when you pee after laser treatment?

Good video chris oh man I just had the same surgery you did and you answerd my question...in a few days they are going to remove the stent. And I'm scared..is there any other way I can go around that like put to sleep for the removal of the stentM

@DelusionDispeller ok. thanks for your reply. i'm definitely going to take some pain killers prior to taking it out then.

[DelusionDispeller]

I had the string type. It had two curled ends, one for kidney and other into the ureter and the doc gave me twilight sleep to remove it. I DID feel it coming out, it was EXTREMELY uncomfortable and I remember just wanting to fly up into the ceiling and out of the building. It was not enjoyable even though I don't remember any actual pain...just extreme pressure that felt like the doc had his hand all the way in me up into my uterus! Odd sensations when they have to work in that area of us

[xSneak260]

@DelusionDispeller you didnt have the string type one? I have the string one in and have to remove it monday morning.... I hope it doesnt hurt that bad when i remove it.

[phillip8042]

[tagyi]

I had the same procedure. The pain upon waking was worse than the 9mm stone blocking my kidney. Thank goodness for percoset. I will have my stent out in a few days. They attached a string at the end for easy access.
