Hi,
It seems that he might be having some infection, mainly urinary tract infection giving this problem.
Now if he gets same problem, then go for urine check up for any infection.
After report go for treatment accordingly.
At this age prostate problem also we should keep in mind.
Give him enough water.
Ok and take care.
