How Can Confusion And Hallucinations Be Treated?
My mom is 71, she lives in assisted living. She has a history of UTI s causing confusion and hallucinations. The two most recent incidents with hallucinations and burning in her vaginal area along with what she believes is hemmeriods (sp?) bleeding is no a UTI. A Urologist has ruled that out but she does have bacteria in her urine. She sleeps a lot; she just woke up from sleeping for 5 hours and she didn t remember anything about earlier today when I was there along with 3 of her cousins she had a 2 hour visit visit. She feels she is blacking out She also has some confusion when she talks often jumping subjects and not making sense. Thoughts?

Hello,
See needs to see a neurologist or geriatric specialist that specializes in memory disorders. It sounds like she may be developing a form of dementia.
