Hi! Welcome to health care magic! Thanks for sharing your concerns with us. We will try to help you in best way possible. First of all, it is sad to know what your husband had to go through.
Based on the history you have shared, the medication which he had been using for his arthritis include those non steroidal anti inflammatory drugs like naproxen which have side effects to increase the bleeding tendencies. He can use alternates like acetaminophen or tramadol etc after discussing with your primary physician.
Meanwhile drinking more water is necessary to avoid clots formation in the bladder causing obstruction. He may need tranexamic acid tablets in cases of sever bleeding or gross blood but that can also lead to clotting inside. Meanwhile keep reviewing his complete blood count to look for hemoglobin levels etc.
Wishing him good health ahead. If you have any more questions, feel free to ask. Regards.
