What Causes Urinary Incontinence In A Alzheimer S Patient While On Donepezil?
my partner is 76 and has been on donezepil for about four years for Alzeimers. He is now experiencing constant urination and incontinence, plus hardly being able to stand or walk to the lavatory. I/ve had his urine testing for infection, but its clear. What to do?
HI Well come to HCM I really appreciate your concern, here the most common possibility is enlarge prostrate gland and it need to be ruled out and for that it requires imaging study of prostrate, some time it could be geriatric symptoms too it is better to see the urologist for further advise and management hope this information helps.
