A 99-year-old male asked:

A temporary blockage a week ago during urination caused a ping of pain and uncomfortable urination. there has been no more bleeding since then. discomfort is felt but could be mostly my imagination due to the sensitive area. can i heal this myself?

If you noted blood you need to have it checked out. Could have been a kidney stone esp if you have had them in past. Could also be urinary tract cancer or prostate issues at your age. Check it out.

If you had blood in urine you should be checked. It is best to be safe. May God grant you many many more years.
