Hello
Thanks for query .
Feeling of falling while walking (Ataxia) and difficulty in urination and incontinence of urine can be mostly due to following factors
1) Type 2 Diabetes .
2) Hypertension .
3) Associated Enlarged prostate .

Please consult qualified Urologist and Physician for clinical and digital rectal examination and get following basic
tests done to confirm the diagnosis.
1) Urine routine and culture.
2) Ultrasound scanning of abdomen and pelvis
3) Serum PSA.
4) Blood sugar levels to rule out Diabetes .
5) Lipid Profile .

Further treatment will depend upon result of these tests and final diagnosis.
