Seizures and Bladder Control

Sat, 09/18/2010 - 13:49

 

 Once again I return to Epilepsy.com due to a new addition to my seizures. 

As you have surmised from the subject line, bladder control has occurred during two nighttime seizures this year. 

I assume both seizures are complex partial seizures (my signiture seizure); however, recent reading on this subject has led me to believe these seizures are tonic-clonic seizures. 

If you are having the same problem, or have more information on bladder control - how to control a bladder (if possible), type of seizures typical with bladder control and any addditional information on this subject, I would appreciate your input. 

At this point, any information willl be great help.

Best regards,

Hi, I was wondering about bladder control after the seizure? I mean I never had a problem with bladder control unless I have a seizure, but that's the only time it happens. This time (I had some a few days ago) until now I can't seem to control my bladder like I used to. Does this happen to anyone else? =/

Yes, my daughter loses bladder control with every seizure. She has to wear depends and a heavy duty pad with that. We are thankful those products together allow her to go unnoticed when this happens, it is a daily . Very difficult at 25. It did not start until she was about 19, although she has had seizures since she was 10. They just seem to continually morph.

I realize this is an old

I realize this is an old thread. I have tonic clonic seizures that started when I was 17. I'm now 26. I had never had loss of bladder control until my last 2 seizures. Is there a way to tell why this began just as abruptly as the seizures themselves? I think, as I've done more research, that I've been having petit mal & myoclonic seizures most of my life. Is there any way to know?
