Hello,
Thank you for writing back.

First give me answers to my questions for a better approach.

1. How much blood is present?
2. When the blood is present? Before / during / after passing urine?
3. Do you feel any pain?
4. What is the color of the urine, red / black ?

Just write the answers as a follow up question.

Regards.
