Urologist,  's  Response
Hello
Thanks for query .
You had single episode of bleeding while urinating without any associated urinary symptoms like burning ,frequency etc .

This is most likely to be due to rupture of superficial vein on the surface of enlarged prostate which is common at this age and needs to be investigated .

Please consult qualified Urologist for clinical and digital rectal examination and get following basic tests done to confirm the diagnosis.
1) Urine routine and culture.
2) Ultrasound scanning of abdomen and pelvis
3) Serum PSA.

Further treatment will depend upon result of these tests and final diagnosis.
