When it comes to MS, problems with bladder and bowel functions instantly appear. Some of these issues might include constipation, diarrhea, but also loss of bowel control. In some of these cases, diet and physical therapy or even various self-care strategies can drastically reduce the impact of these problems.

However, in other situations, medications and other intense interventions are necessary.

Spastic bladder infections, urinary tract infections (UTIs), and even kidney infections are the case of such an intervention.
