Can incontinence lead to pyelonephritis

summary

Incontinence can also be divided into complete incontinence and incomplete incontinence. Incomplete incontinence is the automatic excretion of feces and urine when coughing or exerting. Complete incontinence is the automatic excretion of feces and urine out of control. Now let's popularize the science. Can incontinence lead to pyelonephritis.

Can incontinence lead to pyelonephritis

First, when spinal trauma, often with spinal cord injury. Severe spinal cord injury can cause urinary incontinence and lower limb paralysis. Central nervous system damage can also cause incontinence.

Second: pyelonephritis is a common disease of urinary tract infection. Inflammation of renal pelvis, calyces and parenchyma directly caused by pathogenic bacteria infection. Urinary tract infection includes upper urinary tract infection (pyelonephritis) and lower urinary tract infection (urethritis, cystitis), the latter can exist alone, and pyelonephritis is generally accompanied by lower urinary tract infection.

Third: can not control the excretion of feces and gas, resulting in frequent wet perineum, feces contaminated clothing. When incontinence is complete, feces can flow out at any time; when coughing, walking, squatting and sleeping, feces and mucus often flow out from the anus. When incontinence is not complete, although it can control dry stool, it can't control loose stool. When we concentrate on controlling anus, we can prevent feces from flowing out.

matters needing attention

There are many patients who are paralyzed in bed and may have incontinence. There are also brain nerve injury or spinal injury that may cause incontinence. This is very painful for the patient, and it is the same for the parents who take care of him.
