A family member had herniated disk causing nerve damage to bowel and bladder nerves?
This family member has numbness in genitals and buttocks and places on thighs. His herniated disk broke off and interrupted nerve pathways. Had emergency surgery. Still has numbness and can't feel if he has to urinate. Dr. not sure if nerve pathways will return. Dr. says too early to tell if functions will not return, or partial or full recovery. Anyone experience this and have any suggestions to help him recover bladder, bowel, and sexual function?
Correlation between female urination and bowel movement?
I've wondered if it's normal to feel like I have to urinate but really have to have a bowel movement. Or also to be urinating and sometimes have the stream stop during a bowel movement and then start up again when finished. Occasionally, I will finish urinating but still feel like I have to go, have a bowel movement, and only after that be able to fully empty my bladder. Is there something wrong or is this common?
