What Causes Blood In Urine While Having Enlarged Prostrate?

Hello, I am concerned with blood in my urine today...never had a problem before. i also drink allot of Mountain Dew, have a enlarged prostate I suspect and have been taking suboxone strip in very,very small/light doses (about the width of a human hair) I am thinking it is a urinary infection. I have been drinking water and cranberry jucie in hopes it will solve the problem and also cutting the Soda out completely.

Urologist 's  Response
Hello
Thanks for query .
Based on the facts that you have posted you have been known to have Enlarged Prostate and passed blood in urine (hematuria) Today .

The bleeding that you have is due to rupture of a small vein on superficial surface of a congested and enlarged prostate which gets sealed off spontaneously .

Consult qualified Urologist for clinical and digital rectal examination and get following basic tests done to confirm the diagnosis.
1) Urine routine and culture.
2) Ultrasound scanning of abdomen and pelvis
3) Serum PSA.

Further treatment will depend upon result of these tests and final diagnosis.
