1. Urinary tract infections (UTIs =urethritis, cystitis, nephritis, pyelonephritis, glomerulonephritis, epididymitis is swelling / inflammation of the epididymis, the tube that connects the testicle etc), Stricture in urethra, Ttumor in urinary bladder.
2. Kidney stones (renal calculi, nephrolithiasis) - kidney stone is a solid mass made up of tiny crystals. One or more stones can be in the kidney or ureter at the same time. Kidney stones are common. A person who has had kidney stones often gets them again in the future. Some types of stones tend to run in families. Certain kinds of stones can occur with bowel disease, ileal bypass for obesity, or renal tubule defects. There are different types of kidney stones. The exact cause depends on the type of stone.
3. Prostate problems (benign prostate hyperplasia/BPH, enlarged prostate, prostate infections, prostatitis - is an inflammation of the prostate gland).
Possibly your grandpa was a patient of number 3.
In any problem in male gland or prostate gland urination may stop and need insertion of catheter for urination. Many oral tablets are now available in prostate problem.

M$Before the demise of my grandpa, he was finding it difficult to urinate. And when he does, he complains of lots of pains. It started getting worst as the day went by. At the end the doctor had to insert a catheter into his penis to enable him go to the bathroom. Although my grandpa is late now, I still wonder what might have caused it. Could it be because he was old?
Yes, age is a definite factor.
Enlarged prostate gland or benign prostate hyperplasia causes painful urination in older men. Women do not have prostate gland, so, they are relieved from BPH.
Enlarged prostate gland make obstruction to pass the urine cause urineretension and pain.
