See a urologist. There are many reasons, and many options dependent on diagnosis. You need expert advice on this one. Urination is one of the most complicated processes in the human body, requiring the cooperation of both voluntary and involuntary brain function. I wish you luck in tracking down the advice that might help. Meanwhile you are stuck with pullups and careful cleansing.

Start with a simple exam by mom's regular MD, and if infection is ruled out ask for consult to urologist.
