I only have one kidney, the right one, and on 8/25/14 7am had a double J stent put into my kidney to help a 12mm x 9mm kidney stone exit without problems. At noon same day had a lithotripsy done to pulverize this half inch stone and have been urinating sand for 7 days, and urinating small stones the past three days. Question: can I fly a commercial flight for 3 hours on 9/6 and return on 9/7? Does pressurized cabin affect my one kidney or the double J stent?
Hello and welcome to Chat Doctor. As a Urologist, i assure that, flying with a kidney stent, isn't a problem. Many people have had this experience, without any problem. Also, if your treatment was done on august 14,why is your stent not out. Probably the dates you mention, have got mixed up. Kindly reconfirm the dates, and send your question.You're welcome to send it to me, as a direct question, for an expert opinion. Chat Doctor.  Manga.
