Etymology
Urochezia comes from Greek parts uro- meaning 'urine', the same root you see in the English word 'urine', and -chezia meaning 'to pass stool' or 'defecation'. So, urochezia names the situation when urine passes through the anus because of an abnormal connection between the urinary tract and the rectum.
