Brief Answer:
This is probably an Urinary tract infection!

Detailed Answer:
Hi and thank you so much for this query.

I am so sorry to hear about this pain and blood in your urine. This is suggestive of a UTI. You need antibiotics to treat this condition. For my clients, I recommend a course of bactrim for 5days. Results are most often good. In addition, a urine sample laboratory testing should be done.

I hope this helps. I wish you well. Feel free to ask for more information and clarifications if need be. Above all, thanks for using our services.
