What Causes An Urge To Urinate After Bowel Movement?
Well, like most people I almost always urinate while I have a bowel movement. However when I finish and stand up I often get the urge to urinate again. It's not as much urine as the initial go but its a decent amount. I'm a 5'10", 180 lbs, 22 year old male. Is this common?

Hello sir.
During defecation intra-abdominal pressure is increased to facilitate bowel movement . This pressure is also transferred to urinary bladder resulting in urge to urinate.
If there is no post urination dribbling there is nothing to worry about
