A grand mal seizure has more impact on the body generally, so it is more likely to affect bladder control, though that will not necessarily happen.
The correct term is "grand mal seizure." This is a type of tonic-clonic seizure that features a loss of consciousness and violent muscle contractions.
When mammals have seizures (of the grand mal type), they generally lose muscle control, causing them to lose balance and fall. Their muscles rapidly contract and relax, causing their limbs to straighten and spasm. Sometimes, but not always, they will also lose control of the bladder or bowels and will urinate or defecate as well. After the seizure is over (the postictal stage), there is generally a return to normalcy, with some confusion or reorientation, and then they continue about their business.

Yes, many people experience some memory loss, or amnesia, after having a seizure, particularly if it is a generalized seizure or a prolonged one. This can involve difficulty recalling events that occurred just before or during the seizure. However, the extent of memory loss can vary depending on the individual and the type of seizure experienced. In some cases, memory may return over time, while others may have more persistent issues.
The type of seizure that involves uncontrolled muscular contractions is called a tonic-clonic seizure, previously known as a grand mal seizure. During this seizure, the individual experiences a tonic phase characterized by stiffening of the muscles, followed by a clonic phase involving rhythmic jerking movements. These seizures can result in loss of consciousness and may last for a few minutes.
Focal Seizure
The major sign of epilepsy is seizures. When you have had more than one seizure, neurologists will do tests (MRI and EEG) to locate the trigger point of the seizure. Depending on the type of seizure you have, they will then start you on a medication. If medication fails to control the seizures, there are other alternatives. These include the ketogenic diet, VNS, and surgery.

The most commonly used medications are antispasmodics or anticholinergenics. Depending on the type of incontinence and preexisting medical conditions, your doctor may prescribe a different medication.
An anoxic seizure is a type of seizure that occurs due to a lack of oxygen (anoxia) reaching the brain. This condition can result from various factors, such as drowning, suffocation, or cardiac arrest, leading to brain dysfunction. During an anoxic seizure, a person may experience convulsions, loss of consciousness, and other symptoms typical of seizures. Prompt medical intervention is crucial to minimize brain damage and prevent further complications.
A senior does not need a specific type of mattress pad other that waterproof. Any waterproof mattress pad will help and fix bladder control problems.
