There are many reasons for incontinence, including cerebrovascular disease and spinal injury.
1. Cerebrovascular disease: such as cerebral thrombosis, cerebral hemorrhage and other diseases, may cause damage to the central nervous system, thus causing hemiplegia, numbness, incontinence and so on.
2. Spinal injury: such as thoracic, lumbar, sacral spine and other injuries, may lead to the damage of the nerve tissue innervating urinary and fecal, thus causing incontinence.
3. Chordoma: It is one of the common tumors in the spinal canal and belongs to benign tumor. If the tumor is too big, it may compress the nerves that control the function of urination and defecation, which may lead to sphincter dysfunction, and the symptoms of difficult defecation or incontinence may occur.
There are other causes of incontinence, such as patients with Alzheimer’s disease. It is recommended to consult a doctor to identify the cause of the problem and to treat it with targeted treatment or therapy.
