Detailed Answer:
Hello

Thanks for query .Based on the facts that you had cancer of prostate and was treated accordingly with radiation and hormone therapy.

The blood in urine (hematuria ) that you have now is mostly due to side effect of Warfarin .

I would suggest you to consult your Cardiologist to explore his opinion and advice to withheld Warfarin for couple of days and observe for improvement in symptoms .

In view of raising PSA you need to consult medical oncologist and your Urologist to modify treatment .

Hope I have answered your query ,please feel free to ask if you have more questions , I shall be happy to help you .
Thanks and Regards.
