Hi,
Thanks for writing in.

Stones are sharp edged and during removal, can be broken down to small pieces. After breaking in to smaller pieces, the fragments also are sharp and can injure the urinary tract. This causes bruising along the walls of ureter. This can lead to bleeding and the blood comes out with urine. You may have such a process which has led to bleeding in urine. The stone has been rightly targeted and the blood in urine is a common occurrence in people with multiple residual fragments after lithotripsy. Please drink lots of water and fluids to flush these fragments out of your system.
