Hello doctor,
I had a kidney stone operation on the first of this month. I had fever (temperature 102 degrees Celcius) four days back. The doctor gave me an antibiotic on the same day when I reported to the hospital at night. Again I had a heavy temperature the next day, early morning and night. Temperature subsided when I took medicines. If fever comes again and again, how will the stent be removed? I am having body pain now. I cannot tolerate the pain if the stent is removed using a local anesthetic. Can I ask the doctor to put general anesthesia for the stent as I do not have the strength to tolerate pain?
Thanks.
Hi,
Welcome to icliniq.com.
Thanks for writing in, and I understand your concern. As you have a fever, there may be a chance that you have an infection, and it is dangerous to be only on oral antibiotics. I suggest you get admitted and be on intravenous hydration with antibiotics. I also suggest to do an ultrasound to check whether urine is blocked at any level and to deal accordingly. If there is no blockage, then the stent can be removed. Removal is usually done with a soft, flexible cystoscopy. It is not painful, but you may feel a little bit of discomfort. Some doctors do it under sedation or anesthesia while using a rigid cystoscopy.
Regards.
