What Causes Blood In Urine?

A doctor recently found blood in my urine under the microscope although I see none myself. I went to a bladder specialist because I go to the bathroom quite frequently. I have been put on medication to help me not to uemrine as often but she wants me to do a cystoscopy in case it is bladder cancer. Is there any other reasons why I would have blood in the urine other than cancer?
