Brief Answer:
Visit the ER without delay

Detailed Answer:
Thanks for asking on HealthcareMagic.

I have gone through your query and understand your concern. You could be having an urinary tract infection and need to get your urine tested for routine microscopy and culture sensitivity. If pus cell count is raised treatment with antibiotics would be needed. If not, the next step would be to get an ultrasound of KUBP (kidney, ureter, bladder, prostate) done to rule out benign hyperplasia of prostate as a possible cause. It is a common change observed with advancement in age and can occur irrespective of your food habits.

As of now visit the ER for steps related to stopping the bleeding.

Rather than visiting the ER I would insist you to followthe mentioned steps.

Let me know if I could help further.
