Causes Often Forget Sudden Events In The Elderly?
good afternoon, this incident happened to my father aged 63 years. several times a month. so like the living dead, can be spoken to clearly and normally, but can not resist urinating. the moment of conscious thought is what happened earlier. for example, at 13 we went on a trip, on the way he was silent but if asked yes answer normally, in the middle of the road asking to go to the bathroom but not wet. when I was at home at 5 pm after lying awake I just realized … why you suddenly arrived at home. That’s how it happened. please identify the type of illness or condition of my father and ask for prevention again. thank you, wassalamjuandi

Hello, thank you for the question to HealthReplies.com.
temporary forgetting can be caused by several possible causes:
1. Alzheimer's disease: the type of forgetfulness that occurs is marked by forgetting what has just happened before. Usually occurs in people who are older than 50 years old.
2. Dementia: a decrease or degeneration of the nervous system that occurs in old age, or people who suffer from several diseases such as high blood pressure, high blood sugar and so on. There are many types of dementia such as vascular dementia which usually occurs due to a blockage in the nerve vessels suffered by patients with hypertension (high blood pressure) and diabetes mellitus (high blood sugar)
3. Retrograde amnesia: Retrograde amnesia is a condition that occurs in the form of forgetting activities that occur before an accident, retrograde amnesia usually occurs in patients who have just had an accident
