If an individual's immune system attacks any of these nerves due to Guillain-Barre syndrome, they will experience problems with controlling the release and retention of urine. The nerves that send signals to an individual's brain from their rectum and anus can also be affected by Guillain-Barre syndrome, which causes them to be unable to feel when they need to have a bowel movement. Damage to these nerves from Guillain-Barre syndrome can also cause a patient to be unable to have a bowel movement when they feel the need due to an interruption in the transmission of impulses from the brain to the rectum and anus.
