Brief Answer:
Yes you should visit ER immediately

Detailed Answer:
Hello
Thanks for follow up
Since you are paying blood clots there is every risk of getting urethra blocked which will lead to retention of urine

I would suggest you to visit ER and get catheterized to drain out blood clots till the tome necessary investigations can be done to establish diagnosis and. to decide further treatment

Thanks and Regards
