Did anyone else have lasting bloating after ureterscopy and stent removal?
- Strategy
- Patient journey
I had a kidney stone procedure with a stent put in and taken out a couple weeks ago, and even though the bad pain is gone, I still have a lot of abdominal bloating/distention and pressure. My stomach looks way bigger than usual, and walking sometimes gives me cramps.
I’m passing gas and having bowel movements, but things still feel “off.” I quit all my pain/bladder spasm meds two weeks ago and have tried MiraLAX, Colace, Dulcolax, hydration, walking, stretching/yoga, and magnesium citrate, with only a little improvement.
I already messaged my doctor, but I’m curious whether anyone else had bloating that stuck around after a stent/procedure and how long it took to go away.

Following this because I'm dealing with it right now while my stents are in. Hope somebody can share some insight.
For me it was constipation with no bloating . Could be your meds throwing off your gut, I used to take inno cleanse and it helped with the blasting and heartburn ,
