Hi
Can anybody advise why my father might need a number 2 quite so often? His appetite has dwindled over the last few months and eats very little but needs a pooh about 3 or 4 times a day. Is this normal?
He gets constant chest infections and is only off of antibiotics for about 2 or 3 days before he needs to start them again. I know they can cause diarrhoea but when he goes it is solid.
He is night time incontinent and sometimes leaks faeces as well. He has become very unsteady on his feet and I am worried because every night he has to get up during the night for a pooh. On Sunday morning I actually found him lying on the floor in the bathroom where he had tried to go but his legs wouldn't carry him.
I don't really understand why he needs to go so often.
Has anyone got any advice.
Thanks in advance. xx
