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.

Most probably your grandfather had an infection of his prostate gland which is also called Prostatitis. The prostate gland is a male gland that is found beneath the bladder and surrounds the urethra of the male. Signs and symptoms of prostatitis include pain or burning when urinating, painful ejaculations, difficulty urinating, discomfort or testicular pain, urinating frequently, urgency to urinate, pain between the rectum and penis and pain in the groin, abdomen or lower back.
More symptoms can be felt like chills, nausea, vomiting and high fever.
Another common cause could be UTI or urinary tract infection. This is an infection of any part of the urinary system which consists of the urethra, bladder, ureters and kidneys. Signs and symptoms of a UTI include blood in the urine, cloudy urine, foul smelling urine, frequent urination of small amounts, strong urge to urinate and burning or painful sensation with urination. If the kidneys are infected additional side effects are nausea, vomiting, high fever, chills and upper back or side pain. If the bladder are affected symptoms will include pelvic pressure, low-grade fever and lower abdominal discomfort.

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.
