Can Blood In Urine Be Caused By Other Reasons Than A UTI?

3 nights ago I had heavy blood in my urine-enough to turn the water RED in the toilet. It happened twice that night, once during the night and then one in morning. Then it stopped. I went to the er AND THEY SAID BLADDER INFECTION and gave me Bactrim. I have never had pain urinating or burning. Could it be something other than just a UTI. I also have never had blood in my urine. I have had a hysterectomy so it is not uterine blood.
