Brief Answer:
Possible

Detailed Answer:
This is possible.

Blood in urine can be from a stone, but also the lining of the bladder can bleed from an infection. I would recommend having your urine tested for infection.

Then you should see a urologist who can do the workup for the blood in the urine with a cat scan and scope of the bladder.
