Blood in the urine needs expert help. I don't know if you were evaluated by a urologist to find the cause of blood in the urine. At age 71, blood in the urine needs evaluation of the urinary bladder to exclude tumor and urine infection or stones. Also, equally important to evaluate the kidneys by imaging to exclude tumor. You should be thinking of reaching a diagnosis of the blood in the urine first before you start thinking how to stop it without going to the doctor.
You have to see your doctor to see where the blood is coming from.
Unfortunately, you have no idea why you’re bleeding, so you need to have a cystoscopy and a CT scan to figure out why and where it is coming from before you can stop it.

If you have burning on urination, it could be a urine infection, if you have a primary care doctor you can call them and see if they will prescribe you an antibiotic. If it persists, I suggest she go to a local ER and have them look for a kidney stone.
