ALL ABOUT MS Pregnancy and MS (Part 13)

Given that MS is largely a disease of women, and also of young women, there is a special topic of the relationship between this disease and pregnancy, or birth.


MS does not increase the risk of complications during pregnancy. It has not been shown that there is an increased incidence of preterm delivery, birth defects, inborn deformations, or early death of the newborn. However, exceptions are possible.


Delivery in women with MS does not differ from birth in healthy women. The method of delivery is determined by the gynecologist according to gynecological criteria. Previously, spinal anesthesia was thought to increase the risk of postpartum deterioration, but the use of modern epidural anesthesia is considered safe and has not been shown to increase the risk of deterioration after delivery.


Breastfeeding is recommended and does not increase the risk of deterioration. However, caution is needed if mothers take medicines that are secreted through milk. Breastfeeding is forbidden if the mother receives corticosteroids or mitoxantrone and is not recommended during interferon beta therapy and glatiramer acetate, as it is not known whether these drugs are excreted via breast milk.

It is known that pregnancy works favorably on the course of MS, reducing the risk of deterioration, which is particularly pronounced in the first trimester of pregnancy. On the other hand, the risk of MS worsening is rising immediately after delivery, especially in the first three months after delivery. It has not been shown that deterioration of MS during pregnancy and postpartum is more severe than other illnesses during illness. In the long term, the number of pregnancies and the way of delivery have no effect on the development of the disease and its progression. In any case, women with MS, especially those with mild neurological outbreaks, should be encouraged to establish a family as early as possible for a possible progressive course of the disease.

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

Psychosocial counseling is mandatory

By
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
