Case Study
A patient with a neurogenic bladder in follow-up presented with the lower GI complaints of bowel irregularities now exacerbated by the bladder therapy. Her symptoms included severe constipation of up to 6 to 7 days longer then her initial presentation with flatulence, cramping, and increasing malaise, culminating with massive, often unexpected, bowel movements. Stools were described as a mix of hard lumps both large and medium seen initially with lumps and formed stool. There is no hematochezia. Her stool pattern is consistent with Bristol types 1 and 2 (Figure 17.1). These episodes of constipation were followed by intermittent attacks of diarrhea, which could last 1 to 2 days before “settling down to my normal routine.” Laboratory data reviewed were normal. Medications were re-evaluated. On pelvic examination, a small rectocele and fecal impaction was noted. Abdominal flat plate x-ray demonstrated severe constipation (Figure 17.2). Neurological examination was intact.

Treatment
An important aspect of treating bowel disturbances in the patient with MS is to recognize that, with MS, disease progression, exacerbations, and remissions affect bowel function. Revisiting the problem at regular intervals is necessary to best maintain consistency and predictable outcomes for the patient, reduce unwanted secondary effects of medications on bowel regularity and adequacy of bowel movements, and reduce secondary effects from constipation, fecal incontinence, or both. The first line of treatment for constipation with incontinence is lifestyle modification (Table
17.7) or a bowel training program.

Bowel Dysfunction in Multiple Sclerosis: Treatment—Lifestyle Modifications
5
High-fiber diet: 25 g/d young females; 21 g/d for women >50 y; 38 g/d males
Avoid gas-producing aliments such as sugar substitutes, caffeine, and alcohol
Total fluid intake should be 2000 mL per day Digital rectal stimulation Daily abdominal massages Exercise: CMSC Consensus Panel recommends walking 10-30 min per
day or more intense activity if patient mobility allows PT/OT: to optimize mobility and upper and lower body strength and
enhance ADL functioning Eat regular meals and try to have a bowel movement 15-30 min after a
warm meal In an upright seated position with feet on the floor/stool, attempt at
defecation with abdominal Credé maneuver to facilitate the bowel movement
ADL, activity of daily living; CMSC, Consortium of Multiple Sclerosis Centers; PT/OT, physical therapy/occupational therapy.
A bowel training program should:
Normalize stool consistency Establish a regular pattern of defecation Stimulate rectal emptying before rectal overload and
overflow leading to incontinence Avoid diarrhea, constipation, and incontinence as side
effects Improve quality of life
Bowel training program is reported to take 3 to 4 weeks to establish.
13
Exercise:
Improves digestion
https://t.me/medicina_free
Stimulates the contraction of intestinal muscles Speeds transit time
It lessens the amount of water absorbed from the stool into the body, which reduces the occurrence of hard, dry, painful stools.
For patients with MS who are immobile, a home exercise program can be devised by a physical therapist.
The role of timing elimination:
Patients should be recommended to eat at regular intervals and choose a time about 20 to 30 minutes after a warm meal or beverage, when the gastrocolic reflex produces an urge to defecate, to try and have a bowel movement. Timed voiding and bowel movements are useful in patients who do not sense the urge to eliminate.
13
If lifestyle modifications do not result in effective elimination, nonprescription stool softeners, stimulants, or osmotically active laxatives that cause rhythmic contractions can be used (Tables 17.8 and 17.9).

Case Study
The patient was counseled in lifestyle modifications, given a PT/OT referral, and treated successfully with osmotically active laxative, Miralax.
The Consortium of MS Centers Consensus Panel on Elimination Disorders divided patients with MS-related bowel dysfunction into two groups: constipation with incontinence and incontinence only. These two groups were further divided on the basis of mobility status, mobile and immobile (Figure
17.3). A minimum trial period of at least 4 weeks is
recommended for each treatment regimen to determine efficacy of care.

Sexual Dysfunction in Multiple Sclerosis
In the patient with MS, sexual dysfunction is reported to affect 80% to 90% of men and 40% to 80% of women.
4,29
Neurogenic erectile dysfunction is the inability to obtain and maintain a penile erection to the mutual satisfaction of both partners because of existing neurological disease. 30 It involves
https://t.me/medicina_free
the central nervous system or the peripheral neural pathway. Sympathetic innervation from T10 to L2 is responsible for psychogenic erections. Parasympathetic S2 to S4 innervation is responsible for reflexogenic erections. Somatic innervation S2 to S4 originating in Onuf nucleus innervates the ischiocavernous and bulbocavernosus muscles needed for penile sensation and penile rigidity. 31 Sustained erection is seen with increased activity in the secondary somatosensory and temporal cortex, inferior frontal gyrus, the insula, anterior cingulatem, and medial nucleus of the amygdala. Erection occurs with increased activity in the hypothalamus (paraventricular nucleus and medial preoptic area). Erectile dysfunction in the presence of neurological disease may not be caused by damage or pathology confined to any one area involved in the physiology of the human sexual response but can occur as a result of impaired neural transmission to associated structures, afferent or efferent nerve pathways necessary in the penile erectile response, and may be further compromised by irregularities in steroid hormone imbalance.
30-32
The female sexual response is similar to that of men. The erectile response in women is characterized by increased vaginal blood flow, vaginal lubrication, and clitoral engorgement.
33
Sources of Sexual Dysfunction
A model defining the sources for sexual dysfunction in MS was put forth by Foley and Iverson
34,35
(Table 17.10). I have
modified the model by including “neuroendocrine” factors as part of the primary sexual dysfunction category that affects sexual performance as well as nerve function and clinical presentation.
34-37,48
Gender issues play a role in sexual
dysfunction in the patient with MS. The literature is conflicted with respect to the predominance of sexual dysfunction in one sex over another. Historically, it was thought that sexual dysfunction was more prevalent in men, but in a recent study by Celik et al., 49 women report more sexual dysfunction than men and had more secondary sexual dysfunction complaints
https://t.me/medicina_free
than men.
38,39,49,50
Although sexual dysfunction is more
prevalent in women, the prognosis is better for women than for men.
51,52
TABLE 17.10
Sources of Sexual Dysfunction in Multiple Sclerosis (MS)
34-47
Primary Sexual Dysfunction: Neurological
Physiologic impairments due to demyelinating lesions in the spinal cord and/or brain
Numbness, sensory paresthesia in genitalia, erectile dysfunction, loss of vaginal lubrication
Primary Sexual Dysfunction: Neuroendocrine
Physiologic impairment involving:
Hypothalamic­pituitary­adrenal axis (HPA) Hypothalamic­pituitary­gonadal axis
HPA hyperactivity: increased cortisol, adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH), dehydroepiandrosterone sulfate (DHEAS) The HPA hyperactivity is accompanied with progressive disease and global neurodegeneration MS disturbs steroid hormone metabolism and damages the hypothalamus, affecting sex hormone levels MS interferes with the protective role of estrogen and progesterone in myelin metabolism and by preventing neuron apoptosis interfering with intracellular neuron cell death cascades Menstrual cycle changes: Lower levels of progesterone are associated with more frequent MS relapses/exacerbations. Demyelination and cytokine release are associated with lower testosterone levels, hypogonadism, and impaired semen parameters
Secondary Sexual Dysfunction
Nonsexual physiological changes affecting sexual response
Fatigue, spasticity, bladder-bowel pelvic floor dysfunction, and pain
Tertiary Sexual Dysfunction
Psychosocial and cultural issues that interfere with sexual satisfaction or performance
Role changes that stem from MS, low self-esteem, depression, demoralization, communication difficulties, family support network, fear of rejection, fear of dependency, anger
Conflicting data exist as to the effect of age, disease duration, and occurrence. Symptoms severity of sexual dysfunction in MS is reported by Foley and by Zorzon et al. to be related to
https://t.me/medicina_free
disability and duration of MS.
53,54
Greer et al. reported that
age, time since diagnosis of MS, and the Expanded Disability Status Scale score were not correlated with the incidence or severity of sexual dysfunction.
55
Sexual dysfunction is a major cause of distress, 56 and patients with bladder and sexual dysfunction have poorer quality of life, as measured by the Short-Form 36 survey.
57
Normal sexual functions require the integrity of the nervous system. 33 MS lesions on the occipital cortex compromise female sexual arousal. Left insular cortex lesions impair vaginal lubrication.
Arousal and lubrication issues are not affected by age, severity of disease, time since diagnosis, cord involvement, or depression.
58
Sexual Arousal Models
Masters and Johnson identified four stages of physiologic response to sexual stimulation: (1) sexual desire, (2) sexual arousal, (3) sexual orgasm, and (4) the resolution phase. These phases of the sexual response cycle were originally proposed as a linear model, meaning that desire must precede arousal, arousal must precede orgasm, and so on, in a fixed linear sequence. This model appears to work for men but is felt to not be representative of women.
59
As evidenced from the many models put forward (Table
17.11),
28,40-43,59-64
gender differences in sex drive, sexual
motivation, sexual concordance, and capacity for orgasm exist. Acknowledging the four phases in the Masters and Johnson model, Basson postulated that the female cycle begins with women feeling a need for intimacy, which leads her to seek out and be receptive to sexual stimuli; women then feel sexual arousal, in addition to sexual desire, resulting in an enhanced feeling of intimacy; many women experience sexual arousal and responsive desire simultaneously when they are engaged in sexual activity. Kaplan in the three-phase model defined the psychological aspect of desire as driving the two physiological responses of arousal and orgasm.

In men, erectile dysfunction (Table 17.12) 33 is the most commonly reported sexual problem that directly affects quality of life. Cord involvement in MS may initially result in partial erections and erections on morning waking. This presents a diagnostic dilemma in that practitioners erroneously equate morning erections and intermittent successful erectile response to be diagnostic of psychogenic erectile dysfunction. As the neurological disability progresses, men will experience complete erectile failure as well as ejaculatory dysfunction.
