The cause of retention of urine at this age mostly due to Enlarged prostate and hematuria that he has is due to foreign body reaction of the bladder to catheter what is called as Catheter Cystitis .
Consult qualified Urologist for assessment and get basic tests done to confirm the diagnosis.

In the meanwhile start broad spectrum antibiotics like Cefotaxime along with urinary antiseptic like Nitrofurantoin twice daily and urine alkalizer thrice daily .Later on switch on to appropriate antibiotics as per culture report.
