Urologist,  's  Response
yes this is possible. Colonoscopy may lead to abnormal perineal sensations resulting in inhibitory reflex for micturition. With time as the pain and discomfort of colonoscopy gets over, normal micturition reflexes come back and u void normally. Regarding sore in back, it too will get over with time.
