What Causes Bleeding And Discomfort While Urinating?

Hello I am a resident s assistant at a university. One of my residents just informed me that he started peeing blood. He is not in any real pain just some discomfort. To his knowledge he wasn t injured while playing basketball today, he also isn t running a fever. Is this an emergency or can it wait till the morning?
