Counts group repeated records of the same source within each side. They do not measure evidence strength or source independence.

Physiological and clinical evidence shows that urinary and bowel functions share overlapping neural control and pelvic floor mechanisms, meaning elimination processes often occur in parallel or are closely linked.

The analysis

The claim that urinating occurs simultaneously with bowel excretion is supported by anatomical and clinical studies regarding pelvic floor function and neurogenic control, where bowel and bladder mechanisms are closely linked and frequently managed or affected together. Papers [0], [2], and [10] discuss the concurrent control and functional overlap of bladder and bowel systems.
