[|Human|] I have a stent in my right ureter . It was placed there after an unsuccessful attempt at getting a kidney stone out surgically. I am going to have a second surgery in two days to hopefully remove the stone and the stent. I have experienced severe incontinence since the stent was inserted. How long will it take for the incontinence to be resolved after the kidney stone is removed?
[|AI|]  Hello and welcome to Chat Doctor, Incontinence occurs due to many reasons. Spinal injury, depressor instability and urinary tract infection can cause incontinence. Incontinence after insertion of the stent can be due to urinary tract infection. Spinal involvement is unlikely in your case. Get urine sample examination - routine and microscopy. If some microorganism is detected in the urine sample, culture can be done. This test will isolate the organism causing the infection followed by sensitivity for the antibiotic. Infection control should relieve the symptoms. Removal of the stent will improve the condition. Thanks and take care Chat Doctor.
