Brief Answer:
Is this much blood or small volumes? Are you on blood thinners!

Detailed Answer:
Hi and thanks for this query.

It appears you ruptured a vessel in the urethra during straining. This is rather uncommon but not impossible. At this this time, I will suggest that you drink much fluid and observe this only. I believe it will heal all by itself and as such you need to avoid further straining and sex for approximately a week. Should this bleeding persist, then we may need to visualize the urethral passage to identify the exact problem and fix it.

For now, there is no reason to panic about it. I Wish you well and feel free to ask for more information and clarifications if need be.
