What causes sore tailbone and urinary incontinence?
Patient: Hello Doctor. My 45 year old husband has recently developed a sore tailbone and urinary incontinence at night. Could you give us any idea what the problem could be? Both the sore tailbone and incontinence started at the same time. As far as he can remember he has not injured himself in that area. He enjoys good health generally. Doctor: Hello, Sore tail bone can be due to injury, prolonged sitting or after a long trip, infection or slipped disc. If it is associated with urinary incontinence then I shall advise you to consult to your doctor at earliest. He may be prescribed a MRI to rule out the problem. Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.  Regards, Dr. Mukesh Tiwari, Orthopedic Surgeon
