Brief Answer:
Need workup likely uti

Detailed Answer:
Thank you for asking

I read your question and I understand your concern. No athletic activity is strong and Strenuous enough to cause hematuria. It is always a pathology underneath. A good start will be a routine urine exam and cytology followed by urodynamic prostate exam and cystoscopy if need be.

Likely possibility is a UTI or a prostate problem. Painful hematuria is uti and painless is always a suspicious one.

Plenty of fluids and garlic intake with cranberry juices will help.

I hope it helps. take good care of yourself and don't forget to close the discussion please.
