Urological and sexual problems in multiple sclerosis.
Urologic dysfunction is a common and devastating feature of multiple sclerosis (MS). For many MS patients, urinary symptoms may be the most socially disabling features of the illness. In this chapter, we describe the urologic dysfunctions seen in MS, and discuss appropriate management for patients with MS. Sexual dysfunction is also common in MS and will be discussed in this chapter. Several safe and effective non-surgical modalities are now widely available for the treatment of erectile dysfunction.
