Patient's question:
My grandmother has high blood pressure. Later, she collapsed and has been lying in bed ever since. During this time, she was aware of her bowel and bladder movements, but recently she has been incontinent of feces and often wets the bed, defecating on the bed as well. I don't know what to do. Every day, she needs to be cleaned. How should I handle her fecal incontinence?Doctor's answer:
The current situation should be due to inflammation in the nervous system, leading to incontinence of urine and feces. Currently, there is no particularly effective method to resolve this issue. The main approach is to actively treat the nervous system disease or provide enhanced care. It is recommended to visit the neurology department of a hospital for a systematic and thorough examination to understand the treatment plan. Additionally, it is important to pay attention to strengthening body movements and back patting in daily life to prevent complications from the disease.
