MS is the number one cause of neurological disease in young adults. There is currently no cure for the disease, and it often results in disability, comorbid physical and mental health conditions, unemployment, and more, all of which impair quality of life. Understanding MS from the public health perspective is necessary, as public health interventions can help improve outcomes and quality of life. As discussed in this chapter:
Current research has identified a number of genetic and environmental risk factors for MS, but there still needs to be more research to understand how to prevent MS and improve outcomes in MS. There may be some benefit in encouraging nutritional modifications, such as vitamin D supplementation, and eating a diet low in salt and saturated and trans fats and rich in fruits and vegetables. General public health efforts to reduce smoking rates, decrease obesity, encourage physical activity, and reduce air pollution may also have a positive benefit on MS outcomes.
Individuals with MS, both in the United States and globally, face a number of health-related disparities that influence their ability to manage their disease. Certain regions may not have the resources to provide the medical services required to diagnose and treat MS. Even when such resources are available, an individual’s socioeconomic and insurance status influence his or her ability to access disease-modifying therapies and treatment for comorbid conditions.
Individuals with MS may become underemployed or unemployed as a result of their illness. Programs that provide vocational rehabilitation and training services and employer education regarding MS may be useful.
Support organizations provide a variety of services that benefit the individual with MS from advocacy at the government level to support groups to transportation. Currently, there are many countries where no such groups exist, but it would be beneficial to ensure that everyone

with MS has access to such groups (see the Appendix for more about patient resources and advocacy).

Multiple Sclerosis in the Female Patient
Tracy B. Grossman Kathy C. Matthews
A 27-year-old woman presents to you for her yearly gynecologic examinations. She says she has been feeling more tired than usual and sometimes has vision problems. She also mentions that her husband thinks she is clumsier than usual, although she thinks he is exaggerating. She tells you that they have been attempting to conceive over the last year, and although she is trying to be patient, she is concerned that she has not yet gotten pregnant.
Putting together all of her symptoms, you refer her to a neurologist who diagnoses her with multiple sclerosis (MS). She gets placed on medications to help control her disease, and soon enough, she starts feeling much better and her symptoms are mostly resolved. She calls you to ask about getting pregnant. She is scared that the medications she is taking are not safe for pregnancy and also afraid that she will have trouble getting pregnant now that her periods are less regular than they used to be. On top of that, she is worried because most of the time she is not in the mood for sex but is doing it just to try to get pregnant. This is putting a strain on her relationship.
How do you counsel this patient about how MS can affect her fertility, menstrual cycle, pregnancy, and sexual functioning? What medications can she use in pregnancy, and what medications are not considered safe?
MS and the Early Reproductive Years
https://t.me/medicina_free
Menses
Many studies have demonstrated important hormonal changes in women with MS. These changes affect the pattern of the menstrual cycle and, subsequently, fertility and sexual functioning. Patients with MS have significantly higher follicle-stimulating hormone and luteinizing hormone levels but lower estrogen levels in the early follicle phase of the menstrual cycle.
1,2
These hormonal changes can cause
menstrual cycle irregularities. Additionally, some studies have found that about half of women with MS have worsened symptoms or relapse onset during the premenstrual or menstrual period. 3 Hormonal changes observed in women with MS may account for this exacerbation of symptoms. Specifically, progesterone increases nerve conduction speed by reducing sodium/potassium ATPase, 4 and elevated estrogen and progesterone levels after ovulation cause increased Th-2 anti-inflammatory cytokine production. 5 It has been theorized that the precipitous decline in estrogen and progesterone levels after ovulation, in the premenstrual period, may account for worsening of symptoms and symptom onset. 6 Of note, medications such as cyclophosphamide can cause premature ovarian failure and bring about early menopause in these patients.
7
Sexual Dysfunction
Women with MS can have complex issues involving psychosocial, sexual, and family relationships, which often happens with chronic illness. They often are taking multiple medications, with side effects that can affect mood and libido and incite physical symptoms such as decreased vaginal lubrication.
1,2,8
One study utilizing a Multiple Sclerosis
Intimacy and Sexuality Questionnaire found that 80.4% of the 35 patients with relapsing-remitting MS experienced primary sexual dysfunction, with decreased libido being the most frequent complaint. 8 Another study using the Female Sexual Function Index questionnaire analyzed both hormone levels in relation to sexual dysfunction in patients with MS. Of the 54 women with MS, more than half (57.4%) manifested at least
https://t.me/medicina_free
one sexual dysfunction and 36.4% exhibited abnormal hormone alterations, the most common being low 17 beta­estradiol (40%). The study could not find any statistical significance between hormone abnormalities and sexual dysfunction.
2
Sexual dysfunction among patients with MS can be considered multifactorial, and therefore, it can be very challenging to treat. Sadly, studies have shown that only a small percentage of patients with MS seek treatment for sexual dysfunction.
9
Possible interventions include counseling, psychotherapy, lubricants, and medications. It is important to emphasize that sexual dysfunction can be an inciting cause of, or occur in conjunction with, depression and associated mood disorders. Treatment for mood disorders can also have a side effect of decreasing libido and lubrication, which only exacerbates the problem. Providers should carefully screen for symptoms of sexual dysfunction in patients with MS, because few patients will come forward asking for treatment for this issue, and it can have a major impact on mental health and psychosocial functioning.
10
Fertility Concerns and Infertility Treatment
Fertility does not appear to be decreased in women with MS.
11
This is evidenced by the fact that pregnant patients with MS, which is an illness typically diagnosed during a woman’s reproductive years, are well represented in MS clinical trials.
12
However, international studies have shown that patients with MS have fewer children and are more likely to seek assisted reproductive technology (ART) services.
13,14
This may be at
least partially due to higher rates of hyperprolactinemia, decreased estrogen levels, and thyroid disorders, which patients with MS are at increased risk for because these disorders are also typically autoimmune in nature.
1,15,16
Sexual
dysfunction, such as decreased libido, vaginal sensory abnormalities, and insufficient lubrication, which can occur early in the course of MS, can also interfere with fertility. Some treatments for MS, such as interferon beta and
https://t.me/medicina_free
mitoxantrone, have been associated with menstrual irregularities, which can impact fertility.
8,15,17
Several studies have shown that ART has been associated with an increased risk of MS relapse, especially in the first 12 weeks after unsuccessful cycle attempts.
17-19
Some studies
have shown that the risk of relapse is greater when using gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH) agonists for hormonal downregulation. This may be because GnRH can stimulate the proliferation of immune cells and increase cytokine and endothelial-growth factor production. 20 Rapid hormonal fluctuations, the stress of undergoing fertility treatment, and possibly an interruption in MS therapy owing to the risk of teratogenicity also predispose patients with MS undergoing ART to relapse. 12 One study by Correale et al followed 16 women with relapsing-remitting MS prospectively during 26 ART cycles. There was a ninefold increase in the risk of new brain lesions on magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and a sevenfold increase in the risk of new brain lesions on MRI in the 3 months after ART. 21 All of the patients in this study were taking GNRH agonists. However, studies analyzing different hormonal treatments during ART cycles have not consistently shown that GNRH agonists have increased rates of MS relapse compared with other hormonal treatments. For example, retrospective case series in Germany did not find a higher rate of relapse in GNRH-agonist ART cycles vs the use of other hormonal treatments,
20,22
whereas reproductive case series performed in
France showed increased rates of relapse in the 3 months following ART in patients with MS treated with GNRH­agonists.
21,23
There is no consensus among ART providers and neurologists as to what hormonal treatments to use and what disease­modifying therapies should be employed or stopped during fertility treatment. Patients with MS should be thoroughly counseled about the risk of relapse with ART treatment, and as with most chronic medical illnesses, disease stabilization before initiating fertility treatment is advisable.

Preconception Management of Medications
As of June 2015, the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has removed the categorization of medications in pregnancy and instituted a system of prescription labeling that includes more about the evidenced-based risks of the medication (FDA). Most studies about the safety of disease­modifying treatments in pregnancy are animal studies that use higher doses of medications than are typically used in humans. Medications that have positive safety profiles in pregnancy are interferon beta and glatiramer, which are immunomodulators that are used to prevent the occurrence of relapses and to delay disability.
3,12
These medications, if used before pregnancy,
may be continued in pregnancy; however, owing to lack of data with regards their safety in pregnancy, these medications are only used up until the time of conception and then stopped once the patient is pregnant. Natalizumab is a monoclonal antibody that is often used for the treatment of relapsing forms of MS. Current recommendations are that it be discontinued before pregnancy, although it has been used to treat patients during pregnancy in special circumstances.
3,12
Although there are several disease-modifying drugs for MS, most clinicians recommend discontinuing these medications, if possible, when planning for pregnancy. These medications are discussed in the next section.
MS and Pregnancy
Hormonal Changes in Pregnancy
It is not surprising that the marked hormonal transition and transient immunological tolerance of pregnancy modifies the course and disease activity of MS.
Many animal studies have evaluated the hormonal effects of estrogens (17β-estradiol-E2 and estriol-E3), progesterone, and testosterone in MS. These hormones are thought to provide anti-inflammatory and neuroprotective effects on experimental
