Stent Removal

Hi, I had a stent fitted during my prostate removal surgery 5 weeks ago and it is to be removed this coming Monday by flexible cystopscopy.......anyone else gone through this please as I am a bit wound up about it......I had an FC 17 years ago for a bladder check and I recall it being one the less desirable experiences in life.....going up me again to grab this long piece of plastic and pull it out of me doesn't sound like much fun.......is it painful or just uncomfortable whilst feeling a bit weird?...
Cheers, Paul.......

I have had a few FCs in the last couple of years and although I would not put them at the top of my most enjoyable experiences they have ranged from painless to slightly uncomfortable. I have had a dilation without any pain relief and that is an eye watering experience. I have never had anything removed whist awake. Hope all goes well when you have it removed.


Thanks Chris
