3. Bowel Dysfunction
The same thing that can happen to your bladder muscles if you have MS could also happen to your bowels if you have the health condition; almost needless to say, you should note any changes in your bowel movements if you want to stay healthy – and any changes in consistency or frequency should be noted and mentioned to your doctor, even if you consider it to be a little embarrassing.
Bowel dysfunction can also be considered to be a broad term and could refer to anything from sudden-onset diarrhea through to sudden constipation for no reason – or complete or partial loss of the muscles that control the bowels, which is also common in many circumstances.
Bowel dysfunction is a very common symptom for people diagnosed with MS – and again, it means that the process of muscle degeneration has started, and you should get yourself to a doctor if this symptom has started happening to you, even if no other symptoms might be present.
