A simple test can detect even tiny amounts of blood; it is a routine test, carried out at many medical examinations. Blood in the urine has various possible causes: 1. Urinary infection (cystitis) This is much the most common cause, particularly in young women. If the red urine coincides with symptoms of cystitis and disappears in a few days when the infection is treated, it is usually attributed to infection and no further tests are carried out. The other symptoms of cystitis are: 1  burning feeling on passing water. 2  feeling the need to pass urine more often. 3  feeling that the bladder has not been emptied. 4  sometimes a fever and feeling unwell.
