Suggest Treatment For Blood Discharge From The Penis

thank you the last few days I have been discharging some red blood from my penis especially when I first get up 9n the morning. I also have notice some either thick or dark dried blood that comes out with the flow. the other day I woke and there was blood on my sheets and for the next two days some spotting on my underwear. It does not hurt so I do not think it is kidney stones. Any ideas I hope. also there was no truma to the area.

Hi. Sorry to hear about your problem. Although a little more information is needed to reach to a diagnosis. But lets work out some thing with the info available.
Bleeding from the penis may be due to
1. Trauma. After a trauma to a lower abdominal region or blunt trauma to abdomen it is quite possible to have blood in the urine due damage to the kidneys/ureter/bladder/penis. In this case a strict bed rest along with hospital admission is required.
2. stones. Stones in the urinary tract may cause the presence of blood in the urine and additionally there may be symptoms of pain in flanks, past history of stones etc. They may need to be removed by lithotripsy or surgically.
3. Bleeding disorders. Due to defects of clotting system in the blood, bleeding from the penis (either with urine or without urine) can be present. This option seems less likely as there is history of passage of clots some times as stated by you.
4. Tumor. In a patient in older age group (especially after 50years of age), any bleeding (especially painless) from penis should be an alarming sign and should not be ignored.
I Hope these lines might help to better understand what is the basic pathalogy.
My advice at the moment is to visit a urologist as soon as possible and get youself evaluated thoroughly to rule out any serious illness or to manage it at an earlier stage of illness.
Wishing you the best of health.
Regards.
