Stent can be uncomfortable – there’s no sugarcoating it! But removing a stent too early may disrupt proper healing and increase the risk of complications like infections or blockages. 😫

In fact, one study found that people who had their stent removed within 3 days were more likely to end up in the ER than those who kept it in for 4–5 days*.

We know it can be tough, but follow your doctor’s instructions for stent removal. Those extra days are crucial for your ureter to heal up and could prevent another trip to the ER! 🚨

Popular protein supplements, like whey and casein, are well-loved for helping to build muscle and support your overall health. However, a diet rich in protein may lower your urine pH and citrate, while increasing the amount of calcium excreted – all factors that could increase your risk of stones*. 😲
