What Causes Blood In The Urine?

I started testosterone replacement therapy (due to hypogonadism) for low testosterone levels, taking 30 mg Fortesta gel each day. I also had prostate surgery 5yrs ago, and radiation for same 3 yrs ago, and good (zero) PSA's since then. I started the gel therapy about 3 1/2 wks ago, and have also been exercising somewhat vigorously recently. About 2 wks ago, I notice blood in my urine that went away same day...and again about 2 wks later, which also went away, although I noticed what appeared to be some clotting. Can testosterone replacement therapy cause this type of occurrence, or the excessive exercise, or both? I also finished 4wks of antibiotic for bronchitis about 2 months ago, not sure if that's relevant. All days otherwise urine has seemed normal.

1)testosterone replacement won't cause hematuria
2)excessive exercise can cause hematuria
3)history of bronchitis is not relevant for hematuria
4) according to your history prostate removal happened before 5 years , this usually presents hematuria with in 1 month of surgery so it s not relevant
5) so we need to do bp check up , urine routine and microscopy to find hematuria, proteinuria, pyuria
6) if urine routine and microscopy is negative, then just watch for hematuria , so don't worry...cool
