Yes it can, was just in the hospital for this reason. If you are a male, feces can apply pressure to the prostate, thus blocking the flow of urine from the bladder to the urethra. I have no idea if it can affect females though... Urinary retention and constipation are not fun, keep healthy, you don't want a catheter shoved in ones private parts ;P.

I think it can. I've never been constipated in my life, but just recently I have been peeing constantly and constipated.
