Astronauts would not have an easy to access place to defecate or urinate. If that were to happen, they may have to hold it or defecate into bags. That problem is that the food bags look so similar that people may eat fecal matter.
If they held it, their urinary bladder could get infected. It would also deal damage to the kidneys.
If they hold their feces, it could take a while but along with symptoms headaches, pressure pains, feeling ill, abdominal aches, bloating and gas the intestines can eventually rip from the pressure.
If they defecated or urinated randomly about, their waste could go into important equipment (suits, clothing, technologies, etc.), and cause malfunctions or just be plain uncomfortable. Doubled with the fact that body waste is breeding grounds for bacteria. Illnesses would spread like wildfire.
