Detailed Answer:
I warmly Welcome you Mr. XXXX!
Thanks for consulting me at virtual clinic. I have carefully worked through your case, and I can realize your health worries. Being your physician, I assure you not to worry as I will take care all of your medical concerns.
Yes Risperidone may cause urinary incontinence in about 26% of the patients using it, but that is a side effect when it's used for a longer time period for schizophrenia or bipolar mania. But it doesn't happen to all patients.
Your doctor is right that he went for all the tests, to rule out any obvious cause of the disease. If we can't find an obvious cause on tests and examinations, a urologist and a neurologist can rule it out in the best possible way.
Hope it helped you today. If you need further, detailed and quick assistance related to any health issues, feel free to 'ask me a question' directly from my profile.
