[|AI|]  Your father does have enlarged prostate which is causing mild to moderate urinary retention which means they when ever he passes urine some amount of urine stays in the bladder due to enlarged prostate and that stasis of urine in the bladder causes urinary tract infection as urine is excellent media for bacterial growth would advise you to get his PMRV done which post micturition residual volume on which he will get ultrasound scan with full bladder, and then he will be asked to empty his bladder and again scan would be done to see how much urine stays within the bladder if it is more than or around 100ml that's significant. I would advise you to get his urinary tract infection treated by antibiotic and after that start him on tamsulosin 0.4 mg once a the before going to bed this will help him to empty his bladder completely avoiding any further infections.
