Highest incidence of head injury
Frequent water falls cause more slippery bathrooms. Hitting something in the bathroom or falling on the floor can cause a head injury. Many times there is a risk of injury to the head from the place of keeping the tap or soap. This injury can also be serious and there is a risk of head injury.
According to the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, about 2.5 lakh people in the US fall into the bathroom every year, more than 80% of them have a head injury.
According to the report ‘Falls in the Bathroom: A Mechanism of Injury for All Ages’ published in the National Library of Medicine, people between the ages of 41 and 60 were most commonly seen falling into the bathroom. People who take drugs and alcohol, suffer from heart disease, neuromuscular disorders and diabetes are at the highest risk of falling in the bathroom.
Older people have weak eyesight, difficulty in walking is a major reason
Dr Sanjay Kumar, neurologist at Patna Medical College and Hospital, says that people over 60 have weak eyesight, difficulty in walking and balancing. In such a situation, head injury is fatal when falling in the bathroom.
Injury to spinal cord can occur
Falling into the bathroom can also damage the spinal cord. The injury can lead to paralysis if it is excessive. If there is an injury in the upper part of the spinal cord, it becomes completely numb. Suddenly the strength in the body decreases. The legs, hands or any part of the body do not work properly. There is no effect of touching anything or pricking a needle in the body. The ability to feel cold or hot things also disappears. There is no pressure even to defecate.
