Suggest treatment for mild dementia
Patient: I am the wife of a 91 year old man with mild dementia. He has a fungal infection on his penis which has not been cured with medications and his personal hygiene is difficult to manage. The urologist has suggest a dorsal slit. My husband does not want surgery but the doctor thinks it is necessary. Will myhusband, who is otherwise very healthy, be better off with a dorsal slit. Doctor: Hi, mild dementia isn't a problem. old age is like getting back to childhood so have to start in cooperating small mind games into your daily living Lego's, chess, snake & ladder, ludo, spellathon, etc. many such games will keep you occupied and also help you exercise your brain. it all depends on how you reintroduce these games into your life. CoMing to hygiene it's little tough to make them understand and also do. When we can toilet train a child we can also train and elderly to maintain hyeine unless he doesn't want to , it might that little help he needs to start learning and to maintain it.thank you
