Confused new behavior, any suggestions?

Hi all - I am hoping I can gain some perspective on an issue my dad has been experiencing from other survivors or caregivers. First, some background - my dad had a brain aneurysm four years ago that severly impacted his s/t memory and some executive function. Although he has made great strides over the years, he seems to have developed an urge to constantly go to the restroom. It seems to be a compulsive act, since he does not actually 'go' to the bathroom every time - so I think he somehow finds comfort in this. It's been going on for little over a year now; has anyone experienced this? Any ideas for trying to divert the attention?
I appreciate any and all feedback.
