The contributing factors to Brian’s continence problems and main continence issues.Brian is an aged man of 82 years suffering from various health issues but recently he wastaken to clinic due to continence problem, started five years ago after his heart operation. Hiswife is 80 years who took him to clinical observation because of his bad habits and weakness ofnot taking proper medication is leading to various health issues. Brian spends overall 12 hours inbed and passes 300ml of urine in one night. Further, the intakes 8 to 9 cups of coffee in a day andeven he intakes red wine after his evening meal. Moreover, he drinks 750ml water in one nightand if someone stops him he states that his mouth feels dry. He has been advised variousmedicines to make him control over its continence problems but for some fluids he feels like itstaste salty and he avoids taking such medicines. Beside the continence problem, he suffered fromvarious other diseases which is also a reason of his loss of control like he had knee replacementand after few years he became physically impaired, also he has cervical spine fusion, “arterybypass grafts”, that is, valve replacement. The major reason for his continence problems is his excessive intake of coffee, water andwine on the other and drinking water is good for human body but excessive intake of anythingcreates trouble for humans as it leads to loss of control like in the case of Brian. Further, theproblems arise due to avoiding medications as per the prescribed routine moreover he does notlisten to control over his habits of taking red wine regularly after the evening meal whichdisturbs the routine of his medicines because he cannot take medicines just after alcohol. Further,the continence problems can be controlled by controlling over excessive intake of liquids but incase of Brian it is clearly demonstrated that he does not have control over his habits whichsometimes bothers his wife who is also old and cannot take care about everything all the time.
