What Causes Spinal Stenosis Along With Bladder And Bowel Problems?
An online Mayo Clinic site mentions (without elaboration) that possible bladder and/or bowel problems may be associated with spinal stenosis. My PCP listed spinal stenosis in my medical record but did not elaborate or discuss it with me. I do have some bowel and bladder problems. Do you have any further information on this subject? Thank you. e-mail: YYYY@YYYY

It takes fairly severe spinal stenosis with compression of the spinal cord to cause problems in bladder and bowel function but we're talking mostly incontinence
