scilearner Posted November 9, 2015 Share Posted November 9, 2015 Hello everyone,I'm talking about retaining urine in the bladder,not renal failure, so I can't think of uraemia as a course. So what is the reason behind this. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ophiolite Posted November 9, 2015 Share Posted November 9, 2015 When it come to faecal retention, I honestly don't give a sh**. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StringJunky Posted November 9, 2015 Share Posted November 9, 2015 When it come to faecal retention, I honestly don't give a sh**. That would make you anally retentive. Infection of the bladder or urethritis. Enlarged prostate (in men) pressing on the ureter. Perhaps also, loss of elasticity in the bladder wall.

Externet Posted November 9, 2015 Share Posted November 9, 2015 Perhaps confused from some retention. Seriously, for sure fecal retention causes headaches. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John Cuthber Posted November 9, 2015 Share Posted November 9, 2015 Is the cause vs effect issue sorted out here? Are confused people more likely to fail to respond to the signals from their bowels and bladder? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scilearner Posted November 11, 2015 Author Share Posted November 11, 2015 (edited) I found the answer why urine and faecal retention cause delirium. Answer is if anyone interested cystocerebral syndrome Edited November 11, 2015 by scilearner Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Answer is if anyone interested cystocerebral syndrome It is odd that they don't realise their bladders are full. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xalatan Posted January 23, 2016 Share Posted January 23, 2016 A syndromic classification doesn't explain he underlying causes for the observation though. I don't know if general visceral afferent stimulation from bladder bowel is enough to cause global confusion but it may be enough in the elderly? There may be an infective or secondary component to the retention, eg. Severe faecal impaction, urosepsis, also exacerbations of comorbid conditions or medications need to be considered too.
