Hello,
As per my surgical experience, the current issue of blood in urine indicate heavy bacterial infection in the urinary tract, most probably urinary bladder in the form of cystitis.
You have to consume plenty of liquids over next 3-4 hours and watch for a reduction in the blood in urine if the persistent rush to ER; if lessen consult your doctor by appointment.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
