Multiple Sclerosis :
Multiple Sclerosis is an autoimmune condition that affects the central nervous system of the brain, spinal cord, and optic nerve. It can be caused by viral infections, genetic mutations, and autoimmune responses. It clinically presents as changes in vision, difficulty in balance and coordination movements, muscle weakness and fatigue, cognitive impairment, and problems with bladder and bowel habits. It is classified into four types based on the relapse and progressive nature of the condition. A neurologist evaluates the condition with required clinical investigations and advises available treatment options. It includes the incorporation of daily use of disease-modifying therapies, symptomatic relief treatments, lifestyle modifications and different types of rehabilitative services like occupational and speech therapy. There are ongoing developments in stem cell therapy and gene therapy to provide advanced treatment support. Scheduled follow-ups with concerned doctors will help in early detection and management of any further complications.
