A member asked:

Can colon polyps or caner cause bladder irritation or uti i am waiting for a colonoscopy and now getting bladder irritation and frequency of urine. ?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Not with polyps: Bladder irritation and colonic fistula ( connection to bladder and colon ) usually not due to polyps but due to diverticulitis which is a benign disease . Don't worry wait until tests are complete ..
