Hi I m thirty eight weeks pregnant and have a stent in not because of kidney stones but I guess because my baby is pushing up against my ureter or something.. Well lately nothing seems to help my pain in my right kidney and bladder.. The hospital says everything looks fine.. Any thing it could be? Also if my water breaks will it be a lot of fluid or little because of my stent?? Thanks
Hi, Thanks for your query. I understand your concern. Pregnancy is likely to be accompanied by urine infection(because of physiological stress over kidneys/ genital un hygiene & white discharge / urine frequency due to pressure of uterus on bladder) In this context I would advise for investigations to rule out urine infection.(& specific treatment as per need. ). In case of absence of infection, the pain can be attributed to stent . & it needs bladder pain relievers like Pygidium. After your doctors' consultation.  The stent can not break your bag waters. Its protected in thick muscle walled uterus. Please don't worry.  Thanks.
