Abstract:
This review explores the impact of multiple sclerosis (MS) on pelvic organ function. Beyond the classical symptoms, MS might lead to voiding dysfunctions, faecal incontinence, and/or constipation, and/or sexual dysfunctions for both men and women. Pelvic organ dysfunction is stigmatising and often considered taboo. Therefore, it is crucial to address these issues through comprehensive medical history taking and examinations. Effective treatments are available for all dysfunctions, and a multidisciplinary approach is recommended to enhance the quality of life for patients.
