Here are some ...: Although BPH with voiding problem may occasionally cause recurrent gross hematuria, the concern for bladder tumor would lead the way and be ruled out. So, after imaging studies with CT.IVP, he should undergo evaluation and treatment through cystoscopic procedures with laser or electrocautery. How to do it? It depends on surgeon's experiences, proficiency, facility's availability, etc. So, ask Doc.
