Yes, see your Dr.: You have blood in your urine so it may indicate an infection. Be sure to get an appropriate diagnosis. If there is infection, ask for a urine culture. Followup after treatment to be sure your urinalysis returns to normal...That means no blood, white blood cells or protein.

Not yet: Lots of blood in the urine can be from kidney stones, a bladder infection, an inflammatory condition called interstitial cystitis, or from other more serious conditions (which i don't suspect) but could include cancers of the bladder or kidney. Other kidney conditions can cause blood in urine but don't usually cause pain. Based on your symptoms a uti, stone or interstitial cystitis seems likely.
