Brief Answer: He needs to be evaluated... Detailed Answer: Hi, His symptoms concern me. Frequent urge to urinate with bloody urine can indicate infection or problem with his prostate. I would test his urine sample and order from an ultrasound examination at the earliest if I were to be his doctor. If I were you, I would suggest him to drink plenty of fluids and urge him to visit the ER. Hope this helps. Let me know if you need clarifications. Regards
