how come you can pee without pooping but you cant poop without peeing?

Answer 1

It isn't true for everyone. It has to do with the strength of the pelvic floor muscles and your control over the bladder muscles, and how much you strain to pass a bowel movement. If you are straining much, the same muscle groups which would help empty the bladder are being used to empty the bowel. Everything gets squeezed, so everything empties. It doesn't have to work that way, you can develop sufficient control over the separate muscle groups to prevent or control it. But most folks figure it's just as simple to deal with both jobs at one seating and don't really bother. Generally you don't strain to empty your bladder, so you don't empty the bowel simultaneously. Now you know. You can, you moght, but you don't have to.

Answer 2

I'm thinking it's because the body gets rid of liquids faster (and more often) than solid waste. Also, your bladder is like a urine reserve, so when you go to the bathroom, something is almost always stored in there, waiting to be released (unless you JUST went).

So to answer your question... you can pee without pooping because the body releases urine more often than poop, and you pee every time you poop because there always seems to be urine waiting for the muscles to contract, so it can be realeased.

Answer 3

I don't think that's true with everyone.
