HI, thanks for using healthcare magic

Urinary tract infections can be associated with blood in the urine so if you are also noticing a change in color to the urine, then it is possible that it is blood due to the infection.

If the discoloration is only seen in your underwear then the most likely cause is old or dry blood from the genital tract (old blood from your period).

It should resolve on its own.

You can monitor at this point.

I hope this helps
