What Causes Blood In Urine?

I m a 64 yr old male who recently urinated and it seemed to have been blood in the urine but I m not in any pain, (I know this is abnormal) should I go the ER or seek medical attention the first thing in the AM? The blood is seen at the end of the urine stream.

Hello

Yes,you definitely need medical attention.
Hematuria(blood in urine) may be due to many reasons like urinary tract infection(UTI),calculus in genitourinary tract,malignancy etc.
You need proper clinical examination and further investigations.
Investigations include routine hemogram,random blood sugar,liver function test,urine RE/ME,renal function test,ultrasound of abdomen.
Ultrasound of abdomen can exclude many possibilities.
CT scan of abdomen can be done if needed.
Proper treatment depend upon findings.

Get well soon.
