He REALLY needs to go to the doctors. Sounds as though he is in poor health and sounds quite serious.

I had hemorrhoids problems for different years. I was basically simply excessively embarrassed to go to a doctor or to the pharmacy to request a hemorrhoid treatment. At last I went to a doctor that tried to do everything in her power to help me, yet unfortunately the prescription didn't work. Surgery was impossible! By then, I was powerless, embarrassed and with just about no social life, so I've chosen to try something else. Then I discovered this method: http://treathemorrhoid.kyma.info I purchased this book on the most proficient method to dispose of hemorrhoids naturally notice it helped me a great deal! I don't feel torment anymore! I wish I had it years before. I can't accept how rapidly I got relief (just about overnight!) they've never returned and I don't worry about it anymore in light of the fact that on the off chance that they do, I know precisely what to do. After reading the book and making a move in 48 hours the ache, irritation, tingling and draining was gone. To my surprise I could permanently cure my hemorrhoids 100% naturally. Hemorrhoids are fundamentally engorged veins. The veins return the blood to the heart and those from the lower parts of the body work against gravity to push blood again to the heart. At the point when the blood becomes thicker because of one's absence of water admission, the blood gets pooled in the veins in light of the fact that blood is more hard to stream. This makes them get engorged and become bigger. On the off chance that this happens in the rectal area, it becomes hemorrhoids. I can assure you that I tackled my hemorroids problems with this system: http://treathemorrhoid.kyma.info It's definitly the most ideal approach to effectively dispose of hemorreoids.

Any condition which displays symptoms of blood loss,should be investigated by a qualified doctor,there are many minor and major causes for such symptoms,but being given a list, of what it could possibly be, won't help in any way,only knowing what it is and receiving the proper treatment will be of any value.I am sure he is aware that his lifestyle is not a healthy one and has continued to make his own choices in life,but maybe trying to explain to him that although it's a choice for him at the moment not to seek medical advice, if left untreated,may no longer be down to a matter of choice but of necessity,and making his own decision to visit the Dr now means he still has a degree of control over what happens to him.

Is he passing blood with his urine or his stools? If it's his urine, it's most likely prostate trouble and needs surgery. If he's very lucky, it may only be a kidney infection but he will still need treatment for it. If he is passing it from behind, it could be very serious or it could be something like polyps. If he wont go to the doctor, you will have to bring the doctor to him. It is too serious to ignore. Difficult situation though. Good luck.

I assume you are referring to him passing blood from the rectum (versus his urine). The worst case reason would be colorectal cancer. The least worrisome reason would be hemorrhoids. In between you could have bleeding diverticulum. There are some other possibilities, but those are the most likely. Given his history, I'd lean toward the cancer. In any case, you need to get him to a doctor. Does he have all his mental faculties? Perhaps you need to have him declared incompetent and have the state force him to be evaluated.
Good luck.

The most common causes of hemorrhoids are straining during bowel movements and obesity. Follow these essential hemorrhoid prevention tips and you may not even have to delve into any hemorrhoid treatments https://tr.im/9e3NM
If you’re straining during bowel movements, there is no doubt that you are suffering from constipation, and obesity only heightens your chance of experiencing these digestive issues. The best solution for hemorrhoids is to not have them at all!

He needs to be seen by a doctor straight away. Given his age he needs to exclude the possibility of cancer. If it's caught early the outlook is good.
It's also possible it is caused by other less serious ailments, but even these need medical attention.
Don't delay.

Passing blood in stools is not a good sign. It could be a sign of ulcers in intestines. if they are in the stomach , small intestines stools are usually black. If they are in the lower and large intestines they may be frank red blood.
Frank blood may also be a sign of haemorrhoids, They may be a sign of alcohol related damage to liver(cirrhosis) which can lead to haemorrhoids.
So, he needs to see doctor, better surgeon. liver function tests are essential. blood tests to rule out anaemia as he is passing blood.
Rush him to doctor.

passing blood where? Stool? Urine? Vomit? Passing blood anywhere is not normal and a good indication of a serious problem. He should see a doctor immediately
