Suggest Treatment For Mild Dementia
I am the wife of a 91 year old man with mild dementia. He has a fungal infection on his penis which has not been cured with medications and his personal hygiene is difficult to manage. The urologist has suggest a dorsal slit. My husband does not want surgery but the doctor thinks it is necessary. Will myhusband, who is otherwise very healthy, be better off with a dorsal slit.
