Sexual problems are also common among MS patients. It can affect desire, sensation, or function in both men and women. Besides physical function, patients with MS are also often depressed, resulting in decreased desire. Many patients find it hard to discuss their sexual issues with their doctor.
Cognitive problems such as poor concentration, slow thinking, and brain fog are also early symptoms among MS patients. It can result in speech difficulty as word recollection and association becomes challenging. With the onset of MS, patients often face emotional changes such as depression. This can be due to the diagnosis or neurological changes the patient faces. There can be uncontrolled laughter, crying, irritability, and mood swings.
