Frequently Asked Questions
Will I need a stent after ureteroscopy?
A temporary ureteral stent is often placed for a few days to a couple of weeks afterward to allow the ureter to heal and urine to drain freely, especially after treating a larger stone.
Is ureteroscopy painful?
The procedure itself is done under anesthesia, so it isn't painful, though some discomfort, urinary urgency, or mild blood in the urine is common for a few days afterward.
How effective is it at clearing stones?
Ureteroscopy has a high success rate for clearing stones in a single session, particularly for stones in the lower ureter, though very large or complex stones sometimes need more than one procedure.
How long is the recovery?
Most patients recover within 1-2 weeks, resuming normal activities quickly once any temporary stent-related discomfort settles.
How can I prevent future stones?
Adequate hydration, dietary changes, and sometimes medication based on stone composition analysis can reduce the risk of forming new stones — a urologist can create a personalized prevention plan.
