I have had IBS all my life (now that I know what it is) and developed BPH and OAB. My doctor told me its not unusual for one to have both bowel and bladder problems. The detrol for my OAB caused constipation that aggravated IBS . My meds for the BPH have caused permanent ERD ,though my doctor doesn't think so. Meds have made my life miserable, all the side effects and inter-reactions. I use to only wear protection for flare ups but now am 24/7 Stopped all meds ,and am much more healthy despite ERD. Wish I'd stayed with pads.
