Bladder problems in MS
https://www.nationalmssociety.org/Symptoms-Diag...
Bladder dysfunction, which occurs in at least 80 percent of people with MS, happens when MS lesions block or delay transmission of nerve signals in areas of the central nervous system (CNS) that control the bladder and urinary sphincters. A spastic (overactive) bladder that is unable to hold the normal amount of urine, or a bladder that does not empty properly (retains some urine in it) can cause symptoms including:
- Frequency and/or urgency of urination
- Hesitancy in starting urination
- Frequent nighttime urination (nocturia)
- Incontinence (the inability to hold in urine)
- Inability to empty the bladder completely
