Brief Answer: Perhaps recurrence.... Detailed Answer: Hi, Bloody urine is concerning. I am not sure how were you investigated three weeks ago and if you had undergone ultrasound scans / cystoscopy then. If you had been investigated comprehensively three weeks ago, then I would not be worried now. It may be a recurrence of minor infection or a renal stone. You should drink plenty of water and monitor the progress. Please note, I presume you are not menstruating now. Hope this helps. Let me know if you need clarifications. Regards
