Anyone have advice to remove stent after ureteroscopy lithotripsy?
Greetings, I had a ureteroscopy lithotripsy on Thursday to treat a 9mm stone in lower left ureter. Doctor put in a stent with a string and told me to remove it on Monday. The instructions to do so are terse: "Simply pull the string until the entire stent slides out." If anyone has experience and has some advice I would be very appreciative. I am thinking about trying it while standing in the shower. I also have a shower chair and could sit while trying it. Anyway thanks for any advice.
(Also, this stent sucks, it is miserable, in case anyone is wondering, I have pains and cramps the stone never gave me.)
