ALL ABOUT MS Symptoms of MS (Part 5)

Sexual function disorders

Sexual function disorders in MS are one of the most unusual manifestations of this disease most talked about by doctors. Precise frequency data does not take into account the fact that the problem of sexual disorders in MS is not given much attention during routine neurological examination, but it is estimated that about 62-83% of MS sufferers suffer from some type of sexual function disorder.


Because similar nervous webs control the function of the bladder and genital organs, sexual disorders are often associated with urinary disorders. They occur more often in patients with weakness and numbness of the leg.
Factors that affect the occurrence and severity of sexual function disorders in patients with MS are the activity of the disease which leads to variations in the manifestation of these symptoms, decreased touch sensitivity, psychological factors and depression, the presence of pain and an unpleasant tingling, disorders of urinary and defecation functions, fatigue (spasticity), fatigue, the use of certain drugs (antidepressants), and misunderstanding and misunderstanding of the nature of these symptoms by the partner.

The most common misconceptions about sexual disorders in patients with MS are:
1. I have MS and sexual disorders are the least important in this disease.
2. Patients with impaired walking do not have sexual needs.
3. My doctor is not interested in listening to my sexual problems.
4. It's not right to talk to a doctor about sexual problems.
5. Sexual relationship must end with an orgasm.
6. The physical relationship between partners must include sexual actions.
7. People must instinctively be sexually competent.
8. Patients should not masturbate or have sexual fantasies.

The most common disorders of sexual function in men with MS are impotence (erectile disorder) and ejaculation disorders.
It is estimated that about 70% of MS men have a potency problem, primarily with achieving and maintaining an erection as well as experiencing an orgasm. Impotence in the patient of this disease is thought to be caused by changes that damage the lower spinal bone. The average time of occurrence of this disorder is about 9 years since the onset of the disease and is mainly developed after the occurrence of problems with urinary incontinence.

Vardenafil (Levitra) is recommended as the most effective therapy for the treatment of erectile dysfunction (impotence). A positive therapeutic effect on erectile dysfunction and ejaculation, as well as the rise in sexual desire, are also shown by Yohimhin tablets (10-20 mg) taken about two hours before sexual intercourse. If these two preparations do not prove to be effective, it is possible to apply local procedures: Injection injection into the body of the penis substances called papaverine and prostaglandins. Usually an effective dose in MS is about 5-10 mg of papaverine. If, however, there are difficulties in achieving an orgasm, it is recommended to stimulate the vibrator on the front of the full body.

The most common sexual function disorders in women with MS are the lack of vaginal wetting, loss of touch sensation, inability to reach orgasm and unpleasant sensation in the vaginal region during the relationship. The occurrence of these symptoms in women is almost always associated with disorders of the bladder function.

This type of disorder can be partially treated. The lack of vaginal wetting can be overcome by local
use of various wetting gels, while other disorders, unfortunately, can be difficult to influence with drugs. In case of unpleasant sensations during sexual intercourse, it is recommended to take medicines that are otherwise given in the treatment of unhealthy sensory experiences in other parts of the body, such as antiepileptics (gabapentin, carbamazepine). Touch sensitivity can not be corrected by any drug, but the use of a vibration stimulator is recommended. In addition, studies are under way in the world to deal with the possible positive therapeutic effect of sildenafil in women with sex-related disorders due to MS.

Psychosocial counseling is mandatory

Psychosocial counseling is mandatory People with MS are more prone to stress than other people. With everyday stresses of modern life, MS patients are still threatened by the diagnosis, which only falls into acute stress. As MS is an unpredictable disease, the uncertainty and anticipation of the next aggravation is a particular source of stress. Multiple sclerosis brings with it a change of image about oneself, relationships with family, friends, colleagues. In addressing these problems, the role of psychosocial support and assistance is invaluable. In people living with MS, the problems of psychological nature are more often related to the personality of the diseased, the reaction to illness, and the way of adjusting and reorganizing oneself according to the change that has occurred and which the disease inevitably carries with it, rather than being associated with the illness itself cause of the problem. MS sufferers face loss of health and this loss causes a very stron

ALL ABOUT MS (Part 2)

By
Types and course of the disease The course of the disease is different and difficult to predict in each person, but over time, as the MS shows certain regularities when the disease is monitored over a longer period of time, most patients can be classified into one of four MS forms. When determining MS forms, knowledge of the previous course of the disease is used to try to predict a further course of the disease. MS forms are: relapse-remitent, secondary progressive, primarily progressive and progressive-relapse form. Relapse-remitent form In 85% to 90% of diseased illnesses begin as a relapse-remitent form. In these patients, unpredictable seizures (so called relapse, exacerbations, mosses, and swabs) are observed, followed by periods when the disease recedes (remission) and in which the patient's condition returns to what was before the attack, and may also be left behind damage. When the patient's condition always returns to what was before the attack, it is usu
