May not be: See below: http://www.hopkinsmedicine.org/brady-urology-institute/specialties/divisions-programs/minimally-invasive-surgery/kidney-stones/eswl.html#call Although bleeding can be present for several weeks after the procedure as above significant bleeding or clots may indicate an ongoing issue and would recommend contacting your doctor to check.

Probably not serious: prolonged blood in the urine is not unusual post eswl, however the need to wear a pad suggests that the blood may be incidental to bladder instrumentation, indwelling catheter, etc....you should inform your urologist of the type of bleeding....he may want you to come in for an exam....
