Valsalva: You are tightening your abdominal muscles and bearing down (the technical term is the valslva maneuver) in order to empty your bladder. This is also causing you to have a bowel movement. You may have just gotten into a bad habit but there also could be a functional problem with your bladder that needs to be checked.
