Brief Answer:
Cranberry juice, and if you are able to get valium/calmpose/Diazepam 2.5

Detailed Answer:
Hi try Cranberry juice, and if you are able to get valium/calmpose/Diazepam 2.5 mg--it will relax your muscles and help you pass urine.
Other drugs you can try to get--Buscopan (Hyoscine)and Flavospas-(Flavoxate)-these will help too till you can see your doctor.
Another practical suggestion--find a 60 plus male and ask him if he has any prostate tablets like Urimax with him.
Hope you manage to get at least one of the drugs suggested by me.
Please revert back--regards
