Bilateral ureteral stent how long does blood appear in urine?

Typically blood in the urine (hematuria) after the placement of bilateral ureteral stents lasts anywhere from a few days to a couple of weeks.

The presence of blood in the urine after the placement of bilateral ureteral stents is a common occurrence and is not usually a cause for concern. The stents are placed in the ureters to help drain urine from the kidneys to the bladder, and the trauma caused by their insertion can cause some bleeding. This bleeding usually resolves on its own within a short period of time.

Here are some tips to help reduce the amount of blood in your urine after bilateral ureteral stent placement:

- Drink plenty of fluids to help flush out any blood clots.

- Avoid strenuous activity that can put pressure on the kidneys and cause further bleeding.

- Take pain medication as needed to help reduce any discomfort.

- If you have any concerns about the amount of blood in your urine, talk to your doctor.
