Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Based on the facts that you have posted inability to hold on bowel movements and bladder associated with pain in the lower abdomen that you have is mostly due to what is called as Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS) and needs to be confirmed.
Please consult qualified Gastroenterologist for clinical assessment and few basic investigations like
1) Stool examination
2) Endoscopic examination of the colon (Colonoscopy).
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care

A joint consultation with Neurologist and Gastroenterologist will help to establish the cause for your symptoms.
