You could have an infection or an inflammation in the bladder or urethra. You need to have this checked out. You can go to your regular doctor or urgent care and get a urinalysis done. They can check to see for sure if it is actually blood. It's also possible you have a sore or something in the area that is bleeding a little and that's getting into the urine. Your doctor can also do an exam to see if that is the case. Hope this answers your query. If you have further questions I would be happy to answer them.
