Suggest Treatment For Blood In Urine

I had microscopic blood found in my urine. Never happened before - have yearly test at gyn. Test on Wed. Took several doses of ibuprophen (maybe 4 or 5 double pill doses) over the previous weekend. Could this be the cause? Everything else came back fine. I am redoing the test. How long should I take nothing before repeating the test? Thanks!
