Bilateral stent removal

Posted , 1 user is following.

I just had laser lithotripsy on both kidneys and have two stents installed. They’re the type with strings attached for self removal. Has anyone ever removed them themselves, and if so did you pull both at once or one at a time? I'm concerned they'll tangle inside (they look a bit tangled on the outside to be honest.)
