• Kidney stone problems?

I just got out of the hospital 4 days ago with a urinary tract infection. I was told I had a kidney stone but it's lodged and they couldn't get it out so they put a stent well they released me home I'm on antibiotics and now I'm having the urge to pee frequently. When I do go I can't feel like I'm letting all the PO so shall I go back to the emergency room or is this normal?

This is normal. You can call your Urologist who put in the stent to make sure the infection has resolved.

Please go to the ER or talk to your urologist who put the stent. (By the way, I’m a nephrologist, not a urologist.)
Thanks.

As long as you are urinating, no need to return to ED but you should contact your Urologist
