Hello, my mom is living in a seniors residence for Alzheimers patients. She is incontinent and wears diapers. After weeks of having a rash and in house medical treatment, we sent her to hospital and they confirmed it was a severe fungal infection. After 48 hours of assessment & treatment, she has been released with a urinary catheter, fungal medication & special creams. Is this a common occurrence? Are treatments like this effective? and can it be cured?
Hi, At this age incontinent of urination is common problem. And due to this problem and wearing diapers, local hygiene is not maintained giving rise to recurrent UTI and fungal infection. Continue with medicines. Keep local hygiene clean, Chat Doctor. Ok and take care.
