Hi lucile92, yes a bulging disc can cause incontinence. If you have not seen a doctor about this, you really need to do so. This type of injury can lead to loss of bladder and bowel function as well as paralysis

The bulging disc can sometimes cause someone to wet his bed. The bulging disc happens when the inner material swells or bursts through the external lining of cartilage and puts force on or damages the spinal nerves or the spinal cord. Contact a doctor for more professional details.

Been there, done that.

If a bulging disk in the lower spine is pressing on the right nerve it can definitely cause incontinence. You need to call your Dr and get into some decompression physical therapy to decompress the disc or it'll just get worse.

Sometimes injections or surgery may be necessary, but usually decompression works.

Call your Dr today.
