Diathermy Following Abnormal Smear. Why Is There Blood In Urine?

Hi there, I am a 29 year old female who underwent a loop of diathermy 11 days ago, following abnormal smear. I have since had a brown discharge , bleeding and my urine has been particulaly odourous. I contacted my GP and was given a three day course of antibiotics , which I finished yesterday. I have since noticed blood in my urine, what do you suggest? Im concerned that I may have an infection, other than a UTI .
