Brief Answer:
Blood in urine could be due to Enlarged Prostate.
Detailed Answer:
Hello
Thanks for your query,based on the facts that you have posted it appears that you have passed blood in the urine .
I shall be happy if you can post me few more details to help me in making comments on your problem.
1) Do you have any urinary symptoms like increased frequency,nocturia,burning urination etc ?
2) When was your last Ultrasound Scanning of the abdomen done and revealed prostate size of 67 gms?
Blood in the urine is likely to be from the rupture of one of the superficial veins on the surface of enlarged prostate .
Please consult qualified Urologist for clinical and digital rectal examination and get following basic tests done to confirm the diagnosis,
1) Routine blood work and urine culture
2) Ultrasound Scanning of abdomen and pelvis
3) Serum PSA.
4) Endoscopic Examination of bladder (Cystoscopy).
Further treatment will depend upon the results of these tests and final diagnosis,
Hope I have answered your query ,please feel free to ask if you have more questions ,I shall be happy to help you

Hi doc,
As questioned, urination has a burning effect when I urinate or when I try and force urine out of penis. It feels like the stinging is from the front part of the penis head.
The ultrasound was done 2 days ago with results being uplifted today.
The Total PSA is 0.4ug/L (0.0-2.5) - according to lab test done 3 days ago.
For things 1-4 mentioned, do I have to do the PSA and do a separate scan on pelvis and abdomen?
I also heard the doctor saying that a rectal examination was not required as there was no need according to these ultrasound and lab test but also he did not want to disturb the prostate. Did I hear him correctly? And I was then referred to the urologist...
Greatly appreciate your views and expert advise
