Hi, In most cases, this is a sign of reinfection or kidneys stones. This is mainly self limiting and doesn't require any specific treatment, and you should just be patient and have fluids to promote urination.  Less likely it may indicate possible bleeding in urethra, bladder or kidneys from popped vessel or some other cause.  If this continues you should do urinalysis, monoculture and kidneys ultrasound to rule these main causes out. You should Chat Doctor.  Also, avoid sexual intercourse and have keep good hygiene. You should reduce salt in your diet as well since this could lead to increased risk of urinary stone formation.  Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further. Take care
