What Causes Memory Loss Post Hemorrhoids Surgery?
My father is having sudden memory loss. Two days ago he had outpatient surgery to remove hemorrhoids. For pain medication he was given Percocet. He was unable to urinate since the surgery so we brought him to the emergency room where they placed a catheter. It helped evacuate his bladder. Could the memory loss be related to his current situation?

Hi, dear.
I have gone through your question. I can understand your concern.
Surgery for hemorrhoids generally doesn't leads to memory loss. It is not related to your current illness. He may have some other problems. You should consult psychiatrist for that. Consult your doctor and take treatment accordingly.
