  • Why is my father passing blood in his urine after his bypass?

    Blood in the urine is never normal in a male. There may be benign causes such as a kidney stone or bladder inflammation or prostate infection or more worrisome conditions such as cancer of the urinary tract that can lead to blood in the urine. If the patient is on blood thinners, it may be more likely that lesions such as cancers of the bladder start to bleed. Blood in the urine,especially in men, must always be fully investigated.
