It is important to seek out treatment when you do notice
any of these symptoms. The symptoms can progress as you could end up with
serious problems like increased muscle spasms along with changes in the way you
think and heat sensitivity.
Fatigue is one of the common complaints with MS suffers.
Dealing with fatigue can really take its toll on your body mentally and physically
and even emotionally. If you start dealing with incontinence as well due to the
weakened muscles, you can become stressed about this. Finding the right type of
incontinence products to use will help you in managing your incontinence problem.
Look for products that are easy for you to change. There are a lot of
incontinence supplies that have Velcro sides or button sides, making them easy
to change out. Knowing the fatigue or pain that you deal with in your joints
will help you in choosing supplies that are easy to change out and won’t cause
you additional pain.
Typically incontinence occurs as a secondary symptom to
MS. You normally can prevent it if you are working with your doctor to get the
right treatments early on or at least you can start to prepare yourself for the
secondary symptoms of MS.
Start using incontinence bed pads to help in preventing
damage to your bedding at night. You can easily deal with bed sores when you
have MS as your issues with fatigue can cause you to spend a lot of time laying
down. When you are in the advanced stages of MS it is easy to see that you are
dealing with frequency urinary incontinence as you do not have control over the
bladder as effectively as you once had. You must work on understanding the
frequency of your urinary incontinence problems so you do know what type of
absorbency you will need with your adult diapers.
Bladder infections can be quite common when you are
struggling with incontinence. The problem is that urine will sit in the bladder
and when it gets released it will sit in the diaper, where additional bacteria
will grow. This can get into the urethra and lead to a bladder infection. You
have to focus on increasing your intake of foods that can help to reduce the
amount of infection that can occur. Vitamin C and beta-carotene foods will help
to fight off infections. You also need to focus on changing out your adult
diapers any time they are soiled. Leaving them wet on the skin will lead to not
only bladder infections but other concerns as well like sores on the skin.
Multiple sclerosis is not the same in every person and
the symptoms can progress on their own. Multiple sclerosis and incontinence is
at least one of the symptoms that does have good treatment options to choose
from. You may have new symptoms that appear out of nowhere 2-3 years after your
initial symptoms have started, which is one of the reasons why MS can be so
hard to treat.
