People with mild strokes are usually able to control their bowel movements, but those with severe strokes or strokes involving the vicinity of the paracentral lobules are prone to urinary and fecal incontinence.
Stroke is the Chinese medical term for acute cerebrovascular disease, which can be divided into ischemic stroke and hemorrhagic stroke; for mild stroke, it will lead to dizziness or mild slurred speech, crooked mouth and numbness of the limbs, etc., but usually can control the bowel and bladder.
Severe strokes cause sudden collapse, unconsciousness, slurred speech, poor speech, paralysis, etc. The condition changes rapidly and the bowel movements are usually uncontrollable. The paracentral lobule is the center of the anal and bladder sphincter, and lesions here can lead to incontinence.
Stroke has a high morbidity, mortality, disability, recurrence and complications. Whether or not the patient will be incontinent is related to the patient’s age, physical condition, location of the disease, size of the lesion, and the means of therapeutic intervention, etc. It is recommended that the patient follow the doctor’s instructions to standardize the treatment.
