Hi,welcome to healthcare magic forum.
The first thing to ensure is that,blood comes from urinary tract itself,and not vagina.Vaginal blood usually presents as fresh blood admixed with urine,where as blood from urinary tract presents as cola colored/brown colored urine(unless it comes from urethra,which is very rare in females).An urine routine examination may be useful.Bladder infection usually do not cause blood in urine.If the problem persists even on days away from your periods,it needs detailed evaluation.
I hope you will find this information useful.Thank you.
