What Causes Blood In Urine?
My father consumes about 12-15 beers a night. He worked as a brick mason for 40 years and noticed blood in the toilet water but not the stool after a tough day. He is now not working but is noticing it again. He might go days and see nothing and then its back. Thoughts?

Hello,
Blood in the urine can be related to a urinary tract infection or kidney stones.
I suggest doing a urine test and an abdominal ultrasound for further evaluation.
Meanwhile, I suggest using anti-inflammatory medications such as Acetaminophen to relieve the symptoms.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
