 [ Symptoms ] i have ed and pass few months unrinal incontience andwet bed i have heart problems high blood pressure pvod on many meds is there relationship between ed and urinary incontience [ Disease ] the short answer is no epidural anesthesia is used in a variety of situations it is performed by infusing numbing medicine very close to the spinal nerve roots which makes them temporarily unable to transmit pain signals to the brain the effect on the patient is the blocked area of the body losing all sensation epidural anesthesia is most notably used in childbirth but it is also used to numb the lower abdomen or legs for surgery once i watched a knee replacement surgery performed on a patient who was wide awake but had epidural anesthesia that made him unable to feel his leg pretty cool but to your question there is no evidence epidural anesthesia would cause hemorrhoids or make them worse hemorrhoids usually take quite some time to develop and are a result of straining too hard to have bowel movements wishing you well
