Hello
Thanks for query.

Blood in urine in a patient with enlarged prostate is from the superficial vein that are engorged in enlarged prostate with super added infection and not due to cancer of prostate .

Get your serum PSA levels done ..

Please get your routine urine test and urine culture done to find out the organisms causing this infection and antibiotics to which they are sensitive to.

Please take broad spectrum antibiotics like Cefexime along with urinary antiseptic like Nitrofurantoin twice daily and urine alkaliser thrice daily.Later on switch on to appropriate antibiotics as per culture report.

Continue taking Avodart

Get the prescription of medicines from your family Physician.

Ensure to drink more water.To keep your urine dilute This will help to control dysuria.
