Dear,
It is quite possible to have bleeding secondary to the intake of aspirin. It reduces the functions of platelet which is essential to stop bleeding.
But as aspirin takes at least 2-3 days to have its effects on the blood and topical preparation of aspirin has very little effects on blood systemically, I think it may be just pure coincidence that you bleed immediately following aspirin.
Blood in the urine is a major symptom and further investigation is surely warranted before labeling it as secondary to the intake of aspirin.
You surely need to take CT (Computerized Tomography) scan; may be also consider urine cytology examination and even cystoscopy at a later date if the symptoms reoccur.
Hope this answers your query.
Wish you a speedy recovery.
Best Regards
