Bladder management in advanced multiple sclerosis (MS) lacks evidence-based guidelines, leading to varied practices and neglected psychosexual impacts. This review aims to improve urological care for MS patients.

Area of Science:

  • Neurology
  • Urology
  • Rehabilitation

Background:

  • Current bladder management in early multiple sclerosis (MS) relies on anticholinergics and intermittent catheterization.
  • In advanced MS, bladder management practices are often traditional rather than evidence-based, with nurses managing catheter issues and incontinence.
  • There is a notable absence of guidelines for catheter-induced problems and a neglect of the psychosexual and social impact of bladder issues in advanced MS.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To address the high variability in practice and lack of guidelines for bladder management in advanced MS.
  • To provide a foundation for improving urological treatment in patients with advanced MS.
  • To highlight the need for evidence-based approaches in managing bladder dysfunction in advanced multiple sclerosis.

Main Methods:

Related Experiment Videos

  • A comprehensive literature review was conducted.
  • The review was prepared during three multidisciplinary expert meetings.
  • International experts in sexual, urological, and bowel dysfunction in MS (SUBDIMS) contributed.

Main Results:

  • Identified a significant gap in evidence-based guidelines for advanced MS bladder management.
  • Highlighted prevalent issues including catheter problems, chronic incontinence, and psychosexual/social impacts.
  • Revealed substantial variability in current clinical practices.

Conclusions:

  • Existing bladder management in advanced MS requires a shift from tradition to evidence-based practices.
  • Further initiatives are needed to develop and implement guidelines for urological care in advanced MS.
  • Addressing the comprehensive needs, including psychosexual aspects, of MS patients with bladder dysfunction is crucial.
