Hi Patricia,
Thanks for writing your query.
Your husband is suffering from hematuria and needs urgent medical attention.
He should be clinically examined and investigaed.
Common cause of hematuria are :-
1. Urinary Tract Infection.
2. Stones in the urinary tract.
3. Benign Prostratic Hypertrophy.
4. Trauma to kidneys.
5. Tumor.
6. Prostatitis.
7. Athletic Nephritis common after strenuous exercise.
You should get him examined by a Urologist and get following investigations done :-
1. Complete Blood Count(CBC)
2. Kidney Function Test
3. Ultrasound KUB region
4. X-Ray KUB region
5. Urine examination
6. PSA
He should keep him adequately hydrated and should avoid spicy foods.
He should avoid workout for some time.
I hope this is helpful to you.
Thanks.

Hello dear...
Presence of blood in urine without pain may be due to:
1. Diseases of the kidney like glomerulonephritis
2. Medications like aspirin, heparin, certain antibiotics, etc.
3. Vigorous exercise can also cause urine to have blood in it due to trauma to the bladder, breakdown of red blood cells, or dehydration.
4. However urinary bleeding without pain may also indicate some serious disorder like cancer of the Urinary bladder.
So...it will be better to consult an Urologist to find out the exact cause.
Investigations like Urine examination & Ultrasound scan of Abdomen & Pelvis will be helpful in clinching the diagnosis.
Wishing your husband a Good Health. Let me know if I need to clarify further.
Thanks & take care.
