Mowafi said during his program “My Lord, Increase My Knowledge,” broadcast on Sada El Balad channel, that the lack of urinary control in the elderly is due to the weakness and slackness of the motor nerve responsible for closing and opening the bladder neck with age.

The professor of critical care medicine pointed out that there is no treatment that helps the motor nerve in the elderly regain its strength again, stressing that the cells of the nervous system and the brain are the only cells in the body that do not renew.
