Why Am I Not Able To Hold Urine And Stools For A Long Time?

Hi, I m going on a roadtrip where I will be driving for 24 hours straight and I have a problem that I ve had for about 3 years now. When I need to use the bathroom, I can t wait for very long and I have to be close to a bathroom at all times because I can t hold it. It is the same for when I urinate and have bowl movements. Is there anything I can buy for when I am on my roadtrip to control it?

Urologist,  's  Response
Hello and welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service.

I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.

Let me know your age. If you are post middle age male, prostatic obstruction can cause these symptoms. Taking drugs acutely 1st time before driving can affect your ability to drive, reaction time and visual accommodation. But when at home after evaluation by urologist, can start tab tamsulosin at bed time if there is not much improvement. Take combination with Tolterodine, Roliflo OD 2.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Devendra Choudhary
