Overview
Sexual dysfunction is widespread in people with Multiple Sclerosis (MS), but it is frequently underreported. Erectile dysfunction is a common reason for medical evaluation, although exhaustion, posture issues, diminished sensitivity, and decreased libido all contribute considerably to sexual dysfunction.
Multiple Sclerosis (MS) is a central nervous system illness marked by demyelinating plaques. It could harm up to 60/100,000 people in the Northern United States. It usually affects people between the ages of 20 and 40, but cases have been observed in people over 50 as well. Females are more likely to be affected than males. Although the cause is uncertain, a viral mechanism has been hypothesized. The disease’s progression might be relapsing and remitting or continuously progressive.
MS has been linked to sexual dysfunction. According to some research, as many as 56% of women and 75% of men are affected. Sexual dysfunction in people with MS is caused by both physiologic and psychological causes. As physiologic causes, certain symptoms have been mentioned. Women have reported fatigue, as well as decreases in sensation, libido, frequency of orgasm, and arousability. The most typically stated symptom in men is erectile dysfunction, but diminished feeling, weariness, lack of libido, and decreased orgasm have also been mentioned.
