Has anyone experienced the inability to urinate when constipated?

Also, if you are drinking a normal amount of fluids and not urinating at all, that to me, again I’m not a health professional, sounds serious enough for a ER visit. It happened to me once after a surgery and I couldn’t make it past 12 hrs the pain and pressure were so intense. The fluid in your bladder could back up into your kidneys.

You are 100% correct! I actually texted through my Health app to my Doctor Who told me to get to the emergency room. The unfortunate thing is the emergency room was packed since it was right before Christmas. I was pretty low down on the triage list, so instead of waiting, I went home to try to deal with it myself. I knew the constipation was why I wasn’t able to urinate, so I figured I could deal with it on my own. Unfortunately, it took me another full day before anything happened.
