Q: Blood in Urine: Infection?

When I woke up this morning I felt a bit weak and slightly nauseous. I also had an extreme urge to pee which is unusual since I don't drink a lot late at night and always go to the bathroom before I go to sleep. When I went to the bathroom I only expelled a little pee and as I stopped it was very painful. I noticed the toilet water was bloody so I put on a pad thinking i had my period (which Inst due for a few more days). Within half an hour I had to pee again - even less urine and more pain. As the day went on i noticed there was very little blood on my pad so I'm guessing I'm not really on my period. Ever since I've had to pee ever hour.
I am an 18 year old female. I drink occasionally. I smoke. I don't do any drugs. I'm not sexually active.
I've never had any problem like this before so I'm very concerned. Should I see a doctor? If at all possible I don't want to be examined 'down there'. Whats wrong with me and want can i do to cure it and prevent it reoccurring? Thanks in advance
