Considering that this question is under the heading of germs and bacteria, i will attempt to answer it based on cross-contamination. For males it does not matter if they wipe from to back, visa versa, or left to right, or right to left after a bowel movement.

If you are female, the best method is to wipe from front to back after a bowel movement in order not to introduce candidiasis yeast from your GI tract into your vagina that may lead to candida infection.

What happens if a man does not fully empty his bladder?

Well no one can fully empty the bladder but if you keep going often and feel like there is always something left and that you have to go you should see a urologist. Now I don't know how old you are but the prostate can start growing which can be a early state of cancer, and then it starts wrapping itself around the urethra which can lead to symptoms like this. If not emptying (almost) completely so there is urine left, it can lead to bladder infection since the bacteria wont come out. I would see a doctor to be on the safe side if I were you and remember that if you are close to, or over, 50yo you should go twice a year to get the prostate examined.


Can bowel problems have anything to do with pins and needles in back of left thigh?

Possibly. Sometimes, bowel conditions can be linked to problems with the legs if there is a spinal issue. A problem with the spine can cause pressure on the organs such as bowel and bladder. And an accompanying leg issue would have me question whether an MRI scan would be needed to rule in/out spinal problems. Speak to your doctor

Can holding in your urine cause an bladder infection?

Yes-- The bladder is a muscle that stretches to hold urine and contracts when the urine is released. Waiting long causes the bladder to stretch beyond its capacity which over a period of time can weaken the bladder muscle. When the bladder is weakened it may not empty completely and some urine is left in the bladder which may increase the risk of urinary tract infection or bladder infection.
