Detailed Answer:
Hello!
Thank you for the query.
Blood on the underwear indicates that you are bleeding from the urethra. It might be caused by your current prostate issue, prostate inflammation, prostate cancer. In rare cases such bleeding can be the first symptom of bladder cancer.
That is why I suggest you to consult urologist. Prostate diagnostics (transrectal ultrsound) should be done and cystoscopy should be considered.
Hope this will help. Feel free to ask further questions.
Regards.
