Unable To Feel Bowel Movements And Vagina Numb After Herniated Disc Surgery. Is It Normal?

I had surgery for a herniated disc (L5) 2 weeks ago and now I can t feel myself pee or poop. I m having bowel movements, but they are without my knowledge. Also, my vaginal area and buttocks are very numb. Is this normal? Will I regain control of my bowel movements? I m scared and depressed at this notion. Please help.
