Can a back problem cause urinary incontinence?

Answer 1

Hmmmm... To my knowledge, "Floaters" are located in the eye, and are generally more of a bother, than anything... They are small clusters of cells floating in the eye, and cause shadows on the retina of they eye (you see them when you're reading or staring at a blank space). They CAN mean a detached retina, and if this occurred suddenly, I'd suggest you see an eye doctor... A back problem CAN cause difficulty urinating, but usually you are having numbness in your legs & feet, trouble walking due to leg weakness, and (most likely) severe pains radiating into the legs as well (neurological damage of the spinal cord). So, if you're not having the problems of Back pain WITH neurological deficits, I would would then think that perhaps you're having back pain as one problem and prostate problems as another... If prostate, you will have difficulty starting your stream, and the stream will be weak. You'll have to get up several times during the night to urinate and you won't feel as if you've completely emptied your bladder. One thing to keep in mind however. If you're having dull back pains without muscle spasms and pain with bending, twisting, or turning, I would urge you to see a doctor/PA/NP and get a check-up. Certain conditions affecting the prostate can also affect the bones, and need to be ruled out...

Answer 2

It can if certain disk pinch the right nerves. However, if your suffering from incontinence, you need to see a doctor and they can find out what is causing it. It may be as simple as a urinary infection, or as bad as nerve damage.

Answer 3

If you have a weak bladder and do not use the right products, it can lead to bladder infection. It is very important to keep your self dry and good diapers are needed. There are greater chances of developing infections if you remain wet for long

Answer 4

To some extent yes. Bladder infection can cause the swollen prostate leading to a medical condition known as overactive bladder. This causes sudden urge to urinate. Some people who had accidental brain damage may also face this issue, leading to inability to control the bladder or empty it completely. In some other it is also caused by illness like Alzheimer's, Parkinson's disease , Multiple Sclerosis etc. These are known as neurological bladder disorders.

Answer 5

It may be associated. Usually it is not associated. Usually the patient complains of pain in thighs and legs, in asymptomatic urine infections. Urine examination is very simple test. It can be done rather routinely.

Answer 6

A urinary track infection can cause severe back pain.

Answer 7

Yes it can. If you have irritation of the nerve which controls the bladder you might indeed have trouble.

Answer 8

Leaking urine may rarely be due to STDs, but other causes are more common. See your health care provider for diagnosis and treatment, and ask for STD screening as well.
