Navigating daily life with a urinary stent doesn’t have to be a complete challenge (or disaster)! According to Dr. Marshall Stoller, there are small lifestyle adjustments that you can make to stay comfortable while your urinary stent is still in.

If you’re experiencing pain during urination, try holding back a bit of pee. “It prevents the walls of the bladder from rubbing against the stent, which helps with decreasing the urinary frequency and urgency,” explains Dr. Stoller.
