I just had a kidney stone surgery but was left an stent inside until today, am having lots of pain and now am seeing white things in my urine, could that be particles of the stone? I know i had a 7 mm stone and was blasted, how do i know am passing stone?
Yes, your concern is very true. In my hospital, after authority i.e. stone blasting, I always ask my patients to collect urine in a container & send it for stone analysis. Also, to all my patients who want to advise preventing stone formation in the future, I advise doing metabolic work-up & 24 hours urinalysis. You can discuss this with your doctor. Hope this information is useful to you. Thank you. Regards.
