Can cerebral meningitis cause long-term urinary issues?
Hello I hope this message finds you well. I am writing to discuss some ongoing health concerns that have persisted since I experienced cerebral meningitis a few years ago. Initially, the treatment process faced challenges, leading to subsequent neurological issues. Although most aspects of my health have improved, I continue to grapple with a specific matter related to urinary and bowel control. Following the meningitis treatment, I encountered difficulty using the restroom, leading to the use of a catheter for approximately three weeks. Subsequently, once the catheter was removed, I experienced challenges in retaining urine, necessitating the use of diapers, particularly during the night. Presently, after five years, while I have achieved some improvement in urinary control, there are instances, especially during the night, when I still face issues with involuntary urination. Additionally, I find it challenging to maintain control over bowel movements. There is a correlation between retaining urine and the urge to defecate, often resulting in occasional accidents. This situation has led to a degree of stress, particularly when venturing outside. I am reaching out to seek your expert advice on whether these issues may be treatable or if there are potential avenues for improvement. Your insights and recommendations regarding any further evaluations or treatments would be greatly appreciated. Thank you for your time and consideration. I look forward to your guidance on managing and addressing these persistent challenges. Sincerely,
Neurosurgeon

The most common reasons for this are stress, lack of sleep, and eye strain. Try to relax, get enough sleep, and consider using cold packs on your forehead. If it doesn’t improve, it’s best to see a doctor for further evaluation.

Ive been facing tingling in hands and feet also having digestive issues since 1 week, had mild headache also. And now when I fall asleep, my whole body keeps shaking, gets normal, when I move little. Yesterday got my blood reports. I have 197 VIT B12 on ref level of 211-950(acc to lab). Therfore a deficiency. Also vast deficiency in VIT D. Is it all happening because of these deficiencies? Or any other reason?
Female | 19
Your symptoms suggest vitamin deficiencies. Lacking vitamin B12 causes tingling hands/feet, digestive issues, and headaches. Deficient vitamin D prompts shaky sleep sensations. These deficiencies likely cause your symptoms. To fix this, eat vitamin B12 and D-rich foods. Your doctor may also suggest supplements to restore levels.

The person is said to be having a focal seizure, which is a type of seizure. This can lead to sudden headaches, unconsciousness, and loss of control. The brain wave patterns that are incompatible with the EEG confirm this. Doctors can prescribe these medications to control the seizures and thereby avoid any injuries resulting from falls. It's paramount to follow up your treatment with a neurologist for a thorough diagnosis and the right therapy.

I am feeling dizzyness and heavyness on right side of temple in forehead and pressure in forehead, ear, cheek, and nose block on right side of the face. Please suggest me diagnosis and treatment.
Male | 41
As per the complaints, this is a case of Sinusitis.
If you have sinusitis, the doctor may be able to recommend additional medications to relieve your symptoms, such as steroid nasal sprays or drops to reduce sinus swelling.
antihistamines - if your symptoms are caused by an allergy
Antibiotics - if you have a bacterial infection and are severely sick or at risk of consequences, antibiotics may be prescribed (but antibiotics are often not needed, as sinusitis is usually caused by a virus)

Had a blood patch on Wednesday for a CSF leak, having now what I would call rebound headaches any advise please
Male | 42
Rebound headaches are common after treating CSF leaks. They occur when the brain becomes accustomed to painkillers and protests when they wear off. To deal with them, try not to overuse pain medicines. Reduce their intake gradually, keep yourself hydrated, and maintain a regular sleep pattern. If they persist, seek further advice from a neurologist.

Discomfort is happening on the right side of your head, eye, and neck. Sharp pain and red spots in your right eye appear when moving around. Neck tension and hair pulling may cause these feelings. Gentle neck stretches, rest, and warm compresses on your neck can help relax muscles.

Sir I have had two foot foot drop for the last few years, let me know the solution
Male | 42
The best solution for foot drop is usually an AFO (ankle-foot orthosis) brace. This brace helps to keep the ankle in the correct position and supports the foot, allowing you to lift it more easily. Your doctor may also recommend physical therapy or other treatments, such as electrical stimulation or surgery, to help strengthen and improve the function of the muscles in your foot and ankle.

My father is now 78 years old and before 8 months he was having stroke and now it’s recovered, today morning his face started swelling mainly both lower & upper lips.
Male | 78
Swelling in the face, particularly around the lips, may result from a number of causes like allergies, infections, or fluid retention. It is beneficial that your father has returned to his healthy state after his stroke, but any new symptoms should not be neglected. This swelling maybe developed into an allergy or it would be a causal issue. I suggest you consult a neurologist.They will do tests on him to identify the problem before they decide on treatment.
