well urinary and bowel problems are associated with spina bifida but not in everyone, she may not get these problems. even if she develops these, effective treatments are still available. no, this won't correct on its own

yes baby with spina bifida can suffer from urinary and bowel movement problems. it needs monitoring and proper management.
it will not be corrected its own. if not causing any complications then no treatment required but if having complications need treatment.
