Summary about Multiple Sclerosis

Marham provides a platform to consult the best multiple sclerosis doctor in Pakistan, Pakistan. You can book an appointment with the doctor for multiple sclerosis in Pakistan from the above list.

What is Multiple Sclerosis (MS)?

Multiple sclerosis (MS) is an autoimmune disease that affects the brain and the spinal cord disrupting the brain signals and thus the message they carry to the body. The disease occurs when the immune system attacks the myelin sheath which is a protective sheath around the nerve fibers. This causes inflammation in the myelin resulting in signal disruption carried from the brain to the body. This nervous system disorder affects every individual differently making the symptoms worse in some and mild in others. There is no absolute cure for MS but the disease and the symptoms can be managed.

Multiple sclerosis can be managed by the top neurologists in Pakistan.

Diagnosis of Multiple Sclerosis

Multiple sclerosis has no specific diagnostic tests. The doctor might order tests to rule out other diseases having similar symptoms to MS.

The doctor for Multiple sclerosis in Pakistan might order tests like;

• Blood test

• MRI

• Lumbar puncture

• Evoked potential tests to evaluate the electrical signals of the nervous system.

Treatment of MS

There is no cure for multiple sclerosis but the treatment aims at managing the attacks and symptoms. The treatment for multiple sclerosis involves;

• Corticosteroids - Oral or IV (intravenous) corticosteroids may be prescribed but the doctor.

• Plasmapheresis or plasma exchange therapy may be employed in those patients who do not respond to the steroids.

• Physical therapy to strengthen and stretch the muscles.

• Muscle relaxants to reduce muscle stiffness.

Complications of Multiple Sclerosis

Multiple sclerosis if left untreated results in certain complications that include;

• Muscle stiffness

• Leg paralysis

• Sexual problems

• Memory issues

Marham provides a platform for online or in-person consultation with the best neurologists for the treatment of Multiple sclerosis in Pakistan.

Symptoms of Multiple Sclerosis

• Age - The onset of MS usually occurs between 20-40 years of age but it affects individuals of all ages.

• Sex - Women are more likely to develop the disease.

• Family history - Genetic factors might increase the chance of getting multiple sclerosis.

• Smoking - The disease may cause primary symptoms in smokers at a higher rate than nonsmokers.

• Autoimmune diseases - The presence of autoimmune diseases in people may increase the chances of developing multiple sclerosis.

Types of Multiple Sclerosis

• Relapsing-Remitting MS - During the course of this type of MS, the neurological symptoms of the disease gets worse (relapse) followed by recovery (remission)

• Primary progressive MS -  This type of multiple sclerosis has a gradual onset. People with primary progressive Ms never experience the exacerbated symptoms

• Secondary progressive MS - During this type of multiple sclerosis, the patient experiences the worst of the symptoms without any remission. The symptoms might get better at times but the overall situation gets worsened over time.
