Hello and welcome to HCM,
Increased frequency of urination along with urgency is seen in prostatic disorders in males.
You need to consult an urologist for examination of prostate gland and for urodynamic study.
Enlargement of prostate is a common phenomenon in middle aged and elderly males.
Enlargement of prostate can lead to obstruction in urine flow and thus symptoms of increased frequency and urgency.
Presence of blood in urine can be due to trauma in the urinary tract.
Stones are most common cause of trauma to urinary tract.
Thus, clinical assessment of the urinary tract is also required.
Absence of bacteria or pus cells rules out infection in the urinary tract.
Thus, consultation with an urologist is required for relevant investigations and thus treatment.

Thanks and take care
