Father's frequent urinating/bowel movement

My father has suffered from polyps in his bladder for which he has received radiology and has now been given the all clear. He is now suffering from spasmodic bouts of very frequent urinating/incontinance. These bouts last from 7-10 days and seem to occurr a couple of times a month. Simultaneously he will suffer from bowel incontinance (for which he takes immodium). The urologists he has seen have been unable to pinpoint any cause and have only said that the radiology will have reduced the size of his bladder - however this seems odd as if that were the cause, one would imagine it would be a permanent condition. I would much apprecaite any thoughts on this as it is severely hampering my father's (age 73) lifestyle.
Thanks
