Hello,

Based on the fact that you have posted passing little blood in urine is mostly due to UTI (Cystitis).

Consult qualified Urologist for clinical examination and get following basic test done to establish the diagnosis
1) Get done a routine urine test and urine culture to find out the organisms causing this infection
2) Ultrasound Scanning of abdomen and pelvis

Take broad-spectrum antibiotics like Cefixime along with urinary antiseptics like Nitrofurantoin and urine alkalizer. Later on, switch on to appropriate antibiotics as per culture report.

Get the prescription of medicines from your family Physician.

Ensure to drink more water to keep the urine dilute.

Hope I have answered your query.
