Clot In Brain, Unable To Know About Urinal And Stool. History Of Heart Ailment. Remedy?

A clout was developed on my father's brain due to some sort drugs used for heart ailment. He fainted and was put to icu for this treatment. Now he is descharged by doctors and at home. But still he is unable to know about pass urinal and stool, due to this he does it on bed unknowingly. We have been trying hard to persuade him at least to tell us. Not able to know at all.

Hi ! What is the age of your father and does he have any other associated disorder like hypertension and Diabetes apart from the heart ailment ? From the history, it seems that the centre of brain controlling the urine and stool reflex is being compressed by the blood clot you mentioned. If this damage is temporary, then there are chances that he may get back these reflexes partially/fully in due course though in a very slow pace depending on the extent of damage. If the damage is permanent which can not recover, then he may not be able to regain these control again. In that case regular and extensive nursing care will be needed for him. I wish him to recover as early as possible.
