Why There Were Red Blood Cells In My Urine?

Hi, i went to the doctor due to the fact that my testicals had a dull pain for a couple days. I gave a urine sample and he said white and red bloodcells where found and that red should not be found in males urine. He perscribed cipro for infection and will be waiting on results from urine tests. Could this be serious?
