can try either of the following folk tips, though most of time,
a professional help is needed to solve this problem.

How to use: Cut the Chinese onion into
small pieces. Add the onion and salt in cooking pot. Bring to
warm. Collect the mixture into a cloth bag. Put onto the naval
(make sure it is not too hot). After it turns cold, replace it
after warm it up again. Repeat for two to three times or until
the urine comes out.
This folk tip works for acute urinary
retention due to various reasons, especially after stomach or
pelvic surgery.

ginger.

of the person affected. Pulp gently for 15 min, with the
pressure that the person can tolerate.
