What Causes Presence Of Blood In Urine?

Brief Answer:
Information
Detailed Answer:
Hello XXXXXXX
It could be a stone, but it could also be blockage from a swollen prostate. If he is not able to urinate and it has been more than a few hours, I recommend not waiting until the morning but going in to either urgent care of ER where they can try to see what is going on and pass a catheter to relieve him. If his bladder is full but he can't urinate, if left untreated for too long, urine will back up and exert pressure on the kidneys.
I hope this information helps. Please let me know how he is doing after you go in to have him seen.
