No, it is not normal to pass blood when urinating. This usually is a sign of something going completely wrong in your body somewhere. You most definately need to make a doctor's appointment as soon as possible to get checked out. You need to be treated right away!
The correct name for blood in urine is actually called hematuria. Many things can cause this such as UTIs, bladder infections, kidney infections, kidney stones, and a couple of STDs/STIs (namely chlamydia and gonorrhea). Because of the risk of something sexually transmitted, you need to have a full STD/STI screening when making your doctor's appointment.
Chlamydia and gonorrhea can really hurt your body severely if left untreated. Sometimes there are little to no symptoms so please do not rule out these possibilities. If left untreated, serious illnesses such has pelvic inflammatory disease, complete infertility, and brain deterioration can develop.
Blood in the urine can be caused from an urinary tract infection or from a kidney infection. You will need to see a doctor if either one of these happens to be the case because you need an antibiotic.
Pain from a urinary tract infection is usually felt in the pelvic area and is accompanied with a burning sensation when you urinate. The blood is due to the fact that the infection has irritated the lining of the bladder and it bleeds into the urine.
Pain from a kidney infection is usually felt in the lower back on one or both sides of the spine below the ribcage. Bladder infections left untreated can develop into kidney infections.
You need to go to your doctor as this will not clear up on its own. Also drink plenty of fluids such as water and cranberry juice. Left untreated things can only get worse from here. I encourage you to seek medical attention as soon as possible.
I hope things go well at your doctor's visit and you are treated before anything gets worse.
