    Blood in the urine (haematuria) can be:

    * Infection of the urinary canal
    * The kidneys
    * Prostate

    Urine can also be red or brown due to food or medicine.

    I seriously think you should see a doctor asap.

    Good luck!

    Call your doctor asap. There is no way to tell online what would be causing you to have blood in your urine.

    Bright red blood means that you are having some internal bleeding that could be literally life threatening. If you haven't been to the doctor by now and are still voiding blood go to the ER NOW!

    It's time for a trip to the doctor or the ER sfjohn!

    Bright red blood in the urine or in the stools is a definite cause for concern and the cause for it can't be diagnosed on an online site.

    Thanks!
