Brief Answer:
you may try at home
Detailed Answer:
Hi Sir,
Welcome to HealthcareMagic.
In home you may try going to bathroom and try to pass urine by pressing over lower abdomen. Sometimes this help to pass. Also walking for some time helps in urination instead of sitting or lying down.
Next you may put a hot water bag over lower abdomen for 30mins this irritates urinary bladder and help to pass urine. There are no drugs which help.
if these 2 methods fail then you need to go to emergency and put the tube .
Hope I have answered your query. If any further queries are there I would love to help.
Regards
