“Sex with urethral stent placement?”
I had sex but my kidney stent caused me to have a painful back pain, lower abdominal pain, bleeding (but could be my period but I am a week late), and painful urination. Is this normal or do I need to go to the ER? I've had the stent in for 4 weeks already. I'm still waiting for a call back from my urologist to see when my scheduled surgery is to remove the stent and the 7 mm kidney stone.

Why wait for your urologist? Do go and see him now.
Hello,
Based on what you've stated, you should be seen by your provider. With the stent had moved slightly or been dislodged. If you are making urine, even if it is 'blood tinged,' but not 'bright red,' you may be able to wait until you get a call back from your provider. Bright red urine, increasing pain, fever or chills, and you should go straight to the Emergency Department. But as always, use your best judgement and go to the ED if anything concerns you.
I hope that this helps.

Some advice to you is to continue to bug the scheduler to get you your surgery. You need to be your own advocate. I would tell you that all of the symptoms you had were normal. As soon as the stent comes out, all of those symptoms disappear.
