What conditions would cause blood in urine? It happens occassionally but not all the time. I do have an enlarged prostate (no cancer so far).

Hi and Welcome to EHEALTH

An infection, kidney stones, kidney or bladder problems are a few reasons for blood in the urine.

Are you following up with a urologist?

yes

I have a visit already planned. I did suffer a fall backwards recently that seemed to hit about my kidney area. It has been two weeks but still tender. Thanks
