LOSS OF BLADDER CONTROL
My Uncle(Gadadhar Sahoo) has diabetes & High-BP. He had a brain stroke on 19.11.19 for which he underwent surgery on 20.11.19( Minimal INVASIVE FRONO PARIETAL CRANIOTOMY), on 08.12.19(RIGHT FTP DECOMPRESSIVE CRANIOTOMY) & on 12.02.20(CRANIOPLASTY).
He had lost control of his left side of his body completely but now recovering and regained control of his left leg by physiotherapy.
As he was bed ridden he was using URINARY CATHETER from 19.11.19 which was changed every 14 days. The Urinary catheter was removed on 13.04.19 after 5 months as he felt pain and his urine was leaking from his penis.
After removal of the urinary catheter, he can now feel his urine passing and have a momentary control over his bladder.
But now the problem is he is urinating very frequently in very small quantities, say 15-20 times & have some control during day time. At night time, when asleep, he has no control of his bladder and he is urinating in very large quantities. So please help..
