What Causes Blood In Urine Of A Child?

My six year old daughter went potty and her urine was medium-dark yellow in color but afterwards, she dripped drops of urine that was quite red or possible blood. I looked but saw nothing wrong on the outside. She s not complaining about any pain. Should I be concerned?

Pediatrician,  's  Response
Hello. I just read through your question. The most common cause of blood in the urine, in the absence of trauma, is infection. If you suspect that it was blood, a urine sample should be sent to determine whether or not this is the case. if it is an infection, it can be easily treated. Outside of that, there is nothing to be overly worried about.
