A member asked:
If u have a buging disk can it cause u to not know when u have to urinate or make u urinate your self a little and not be able to have bowel movement?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Rarely yes: Central bulge of disk in lower lumbar area can press on nerve roots of caudal equine, usually large bulge at l4-5. Patients usually have symptoms in both legs as well. This can affect urination and defecation. You should consult your doctor.
