Alternatively, urinary incontinence may occur because of neurological decline caused by dementia. Mobility can decrease as the disease progresses, making it difficult for a sufferer to reach the toilet on time. Reduced sensation can also prevent the sufferer from knowing when they need to urinate.
Mental decline can lead to the individual not knowing where the toilet is, or how to use it when they get there. If either you or a loved one are beginning to struggle with reaching the toilet in time, it may be time to look for external aids. Families often take on the care of a relative showing signs of decline, however, round-the-clock care can be exhausting and take up a lot of time.

Not only is she professional- she makes your whole experience comfortable. It is refreshing to meet a practitioner who sees the whole patient and not just a series of symptoms. JoEllen is willing to spend the time to ask questions and really listen to the responses. OAB patients typically do not also experience the frequency need to go often or the pain of IC. IC in men may be mistaken for chronic prostatitis. You might confuse hemorrhagic cystitis with IC because the symptoms are similar.
Hemorrhagic cystitis also presents with bladder pain and irritation, frequency, urgency, and nocturia. It can also damage the bladder wall and cause your bladder to shrink. However, patients with hemorrhagic cystitis often have additional symptoms such as blood in their urine, systemic infections, and urinary obstruction.
