Hello,

Your mentioned history suggestive of urinary tract infection. In UTI epithelial damage can occur and so urine can be bloody due to erosion.
You have recovered well after the antibiotic course.

So no need to worry. You can visit urologist one week after. No urgent consultation to urologist needed in this week.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Take care

Regards,
Dr Parth Goswami, General & Family Physician
