 You can have specks of blood, or urine that is tinged with blood with a urinary tract infection. You need to see your Doctor and get antibiotics to clear it up. The danger is, worst case scenario, you can get a kidney infection if you don't get it cleared up. The best way to guard against this is to pee after having sex. This will wash out any bacteria in your uerethra (sp?). The old-fashioned name for the infection is "Honeymoon Cystitis". If you only have a mild case, cranberry juice will help (but don't drink this if you have ever had kidney stones). You will know if you have a bad case because you feel like the urge to pee never stops, it's painful and you spend hours in the bathroom. The first time I had it, I had eaten a bowl of pickled beets. I was peeing bright red, with specks of blood and in agony. I thought for sure I was dying! Now I know that beets, eaten in large quantities, will turn your urine a different colour, but it was a scary few hours until I asked somebody and they enlightened me as to the cause. God Bless my Mother-in-Law (Yeah, THAT was embarrassing)!!!

 Hi
It could be a bad case of urinary tract infection. In fact, it probably is at your age. Go see the doc. Probably need some anti biotics.
Might just be cystitis, but you dont normally get blood with that, just pain.
Deffo need to take a urine sample to the doc. Make sure you take it along with you, as recent as poss. Saves time & inconvenience then.
