  • My father has been urinating less since his stroke. What is the connection between the two?

    There is a relationship between urinalysis retention and stroke. Patients with higher association include those with history of diabetes, cognitive impairment, aphasia (language dysfunction), poor overall and/or functional status. Diabetics may have neuropathy that affects the bladder sense of fullness or in coordination of the muscles and nerves involved with urinating. Aphasia and cognitive impairment may prevent the patient from alerting caregivers that they need to void and therefore “hold it”. Poor functional status (weakness, poor ability to walk, bed bound) may prevent independence with urinating and again causing patients to “hold it”. It is also important to consider other causes. If there is impaired swallowing fluid intake may be decreased resulting in relative dehydration. Underlying prostate hypertrophy may be uncovered and by itself or coupled with any of the above issues would result in urinary retention. The first thing to determine is if there is a problem with the urinating mechanism or is there dehydration or avoidance of urination. READ MORE
