Why does a stroke patient start to lose bowel control?
Answer:
A stroke does not affect the bowel control unless it affected the spinal cord. The main reason they have accidents is due to the hemiplegia and physically they can not get there or they have cognitve difficulties and does not have the insight to go to the bathroom.
erm generally they dont.i work in a home for the young physically disabled and look after 17 people with strokes,none of them lost bowel control.see your gp. asap.
when presented with hospital bill
It has to do with what part of the brain was effected by the stroke. My Dad just had a stroke, and because the part of the brain that tells his lungs to breath was effected, he now needs help breathing.
maybe nerve damage to sphincter muscle control
Because the portion of the brain which controls the nerves sending signals to the muscles controlling your ability to expel feces (bowel movments) have been damaged by the stroke. It is pretty common problem.

Why does a person feel so tired and worn out after they received a dialysis treatment?
Answer:
The blood is drained from the body and this includes blood vessels supplying blood to the muscles. When the blood is removed from the muscles, they don't recieve oxygen and therefore have to use anaerobic methods to contract by making ATP. Lactic acid is a by product of this anaerobic metabolism and when lactic acid is present in the muscles, they become sore and your brain precieves this as being "tired". As blood is restored to the muscles, higher concentrations of oxygen provide the means for the mitochondria of muscle cells to produce higher amounts of ATP through the krebs cycle. Which eventually allows the removal of the lactic acid(which is the actual pain/tiredness).
Having been hooked up to a machine for several hours, sat doing nothing and having all your blood withdrawn and then returned, what do you expect?
In medicine, dialysis is a type of renal replacement therapy which is used to provide an artificial replacement for lost kidney function due to renal failure. It is a life support treatment and does not treat any kidney diseases. Dialysis may be used for very sick patients who have suddenly lost their kidney function (acute renal failure) or for quite stable patients who have permanently lost their kidney function (end stage renal failure). When healthy, the kidneys remove waste products (for example potassium, acid and urea) from the blood and also remove excess fluid in the form of urine. Dialysis treatments have to duplicate both of these functions as dialysis (waste removal) and ultrafiltration (fluid removal).You may have some discomfort when the needles are put into your fistula or graft, but most patients have no other problems. The dialysis treatment itself is painless. However, some patients may have a drop in their blood pressure. If this happens, you may feel sick to your stomach, feel tired, vomit, have a headache or cramps. With frequent treatments, those problems usually go away.
I have been doing dialysis for 3 years so far. This is my third time on dialysis. I have had 2 failed transplants.Dialysis is a life-sustaining therapy and without it I would be dead within a week. Dialysis replaces my kidneys (I have none). It removes all the poisons or waste products that build up in my body (potassium, sodium, phosphorus, etc) as well as excess fluid.Many people think that because we just sit there and have our blood cleaned we have no business being tired afterwards. Well think of it this way, during the time we are sitting there ALL of our blood is being removed, cleaned and returned. During that time, we are also having excess fluid removed that we accumulated on our days off. As a result, our blood pressures drop and they can drop excessively. When that happens we can suffer painful muscle spasms, vomiting, headaches, burning in the pits of our stomachs or we could lose consciousness.Also, a lot of dialysis patients are anemic or severely anemicSo, if you combine all those factors, it's no wonder we are tired and worn out after a treatment.Alicia - These symptoms don't always go away with frequent treatments. I do dialysis 3 times a week and every treatment brings another side effect. The most common being a drop in blood pressure.
because your body has gone Thur a long and intense treatment. i would feel like sleeping all day after my treatments. just think that you just had all your blood taken out and cleaned and put back into you it is rough on you physical and mentally

Why Does A Bladder Infection Causes Diabetes Like Symptoms?
Why Does A Bladder Infection Causes Diabetes Like Symptoms?

Irritation of the bladder and urethra makes you pee more often......it does not, however, make you pee large volumes of the urine which is the case in Diabetes.

Why does a 5 year old go to the bathroom in his under ware?
Answer:
Seriously? More informaiton would be helpful... Just at night, during the day, urinating and bowel movements?I'm assuming this isn't a new situation. If it is and he has been using the toilet just fine until now, then you may want to talk to his doctor to rule out urinary tract or bladder infection. Also there could be psychological factor if there has been anything stressful happening. If it isn't a new situation, then keep reading.The most common situation is with boys wetting the bed. They lack total control of the muscle used to keep urine in the bladder and sleep so soundly that they don't wake up to go. It's actually very common for parents to wake up their son 3 or 4 hours after he goes to sleep so he can go on the toilet and then let him go back to bed. Many boys can then hold it the rest of the night; however, some have to be woken up again 3 or 4 hours after that. It may be easier to put a pullup on for the night.If it's during the day, it could just be that he is too busy to stop what he's doing to use the bathroom. Some kids think they will miss out on something if they take a break, so they wet their pants, but most don't put that much thought into it. They just are too busy.If you are talking about bowel movements, it could be that he isn't completely "potty trained", or "poop trained" as many parents call it. Most kids find it harder to have a bowel movement in the toilet because the pressure is different and they aren't relaxed. It's almost as if they don't know how to do it sitting down. Give him a stool to put his feet on so he can apply the right amount of pressure. Then put a stack of books he likes next to the toilet so he has something to do other than just sit there.Hope this helps.
cuz he's 5. and i need pts cuz i just got a question deleted.
Why do your cheeks turn red when you blush?
Answer:
It is due to the sudden release of adrenalin, which causes your heart to pump faster and blood rushes all over. Your cheeks have thinner skin than other areas of your body and hence turn red quicker and are more noticeable.
some chemicals in your body.
In short It is because your blood is rushing to your face.
The blood rushes to the skin on your face.
Because you have a lot of blood vessels in your butt.
