What is a DJ Stent?

DJ stent is short for ‘Double J stent’. This is a small tube that is placed in the body from the kidney to the urinary bladder. This is kept for around 6 weeks. The lower portion is in the urinary bladder and is shaped as ‘J’ while the upper portion is like a mirror image. The shape helps in retaining the stent in the body.

What does the DJ stent do?

The ureter will remain open all the time.
It has multiple holes; even if there's a block, urine can pass through these holes to prevent back pressure and kidney damage.
Prevents narrowing or strictures during the healing process.
Helps prevent tube narrowing due to obstruction or injury from the stone.
Assists the kidney in pushing the stone out.
The DJ stent acts as a foreign body, prompting the body to push it—and the stone—out.

You must drink enough water or fluid so that you can pass 3 liters of urine every day. This will solve the purpose for which the stent is placed.
In the starting stage, you can have some discomfort. With the placement of DJ stents, some reflux can result in funny sensations.
When the fragments come down to the ureter, the patient can have some pain in the back.
Stones will get deposited over the stent if the person does not take the required amount of water in a day, and it can result in encrustations.
