What Causes Bleeding In Catheter With History Of Prostate Cancer?

My grandfather is 92 years old with history of prostate cancer. He has had a catheter for two years now. He just got out of hospital a week ago with a double uti. In the past 24 hours he has had three spells of bleeding in and of his catheter. Some bleeding was a little abnormal. It seems his testicles are swollen are are tender to touch, his blood pressure is also up. What should I do?
