Introduction
Nerve recovery for controlling urination and defecation can primarily be achieved through medication, rehabilitation training, and surgical procedures as directed by a physician. If nerve damage occurs, it may lead to symptoms such as urinary and fecal incontinence, speech disorders, and facial paralysis. In more severe cases, it may result in hemiplegia, memory loss, and cognitive impairment.

Under normal circumstances, the recovery of nerves controlling urination and defecation can primarily be achieved through medication, rehabilitation training, and surgical procedures as directed by a physician. If nerve damage occurs, it may lead to symptoms such as urinary and fecal incontinence, speech disorders, and facial paralysis. In severe cases, symptoms such as hemiplegia, memory decline, and cognitive impairment may develop. When such conditions occur, timely electromyography (EMG) testing is necessary for accurate diagnosis. Specific approaches are as follows:

1. Medication: Under medical guidance, neurotrophic drugs such as vitamin B or mecobalamin tablets can be used to promote nerve recovery and accelerate the restoration of nerves controlling urination and defecation.

2. Rehabilitation training: Regular physical exercises and speech therapy can help strengthen muscle power in limbs and prevent muscle atrophy.

3. Surgery: Prompt hospital visits are required for decompression surgery, nerve grafting, or nerve anastomosis under medical supervision to alleviate symptoms caused by nerve damage.
