Thanks for your query,based on the facts that you have posted it appears that you have passed blood in urine (Hematuria).This could be mostly due to bleeding from a superficial vein on the surface of enlarged prostate which is common at this age .However other cause of hematuria like malignancy of urinary tract has to be ruled out .
