If you find that the elderly have stones in their bladder and urethra that cause them to be unable to urinate, you should try your best to persuade them to go to the hospital for treatment and break up the stones. This will eliminate the stone obstruction and of course they will be able to urinate smoothly.

Fourth, medication. If the elderly cannot urinate due to prostate problems, they can be given some medication or catheterized to eliminate urinary retention. In addition, in terms of diet, do not let the elderly eat spicy food, exercise every day, and maintain a calm state of mind, which is conducive to the recovery of the disease.
