You don't need to say anything. Just get up and go to the bathroom. Wives do not need to be informed of everything their husbands do.

In my experience, polite adults try to avoid talking about such matters.
Do you think your wife needs explicit details?

Give her a long, descriptive answer if you want to.
I wouldn't.

Do you talk English to your wife at home?

In the US, in this context, you might hear adults say the following:

I have to ****.

I'm gonna go ****.

I would be extremely surprised to hear an adult say this, unless he was speaking to a three-year-old. As others have already explained, in English-speaking cultures polite people do not generally explain exactly what what they are going to do in the bathroom.
