Answer

when the lumbar region is fractured impulses cannot travel to the brain. Thus there will be no voluntary control of the micturition and there will never feel to urinate. There will be no changes in dribbling of urine unless there is damage to the internal sphincter. Micturtion will only respond when the bladder is stretched by a reflec arc in the sacra region.
