Every year, more and more men are diagnosed with a disease such as multiple sclerosis, which is currently incurable, and early therapy will help reduce the number of relapses and improve the quality of life.

Multiple sclerosis is a disease in which the entire neural process of the brain and spinal cord is disrupted, resulting, over time, in a completely frail state. The prerequisite for this process is the death of the membrane of nerve nodes and endings. Multiple sclerosis is an autoimmune pathology and, when it develops, affects healthy brain cells and nerve endings. With the development of this disease, men experience problems such as a gradual loss of sensation in the arms and legs, a swaying gait, decreased vision, urinary incontinence, facial asymmetry, constant nervous tension and an unstable emotional background.

Doctors, even in our time, have not yet found out what is the prerequisite for this disease, but they adhere to several main arguments - this is an incorrect lifestyle, food and ecology.

Multiple sclerosis in men brings irreversible results to the male body, and timely and accurate diagnosis is necessary for subsequent treatment of this disease with the necessary care for the unhealthy person.

Statistics show that women between 30 and 40 years of age are most at risk of developing multiple sclerosis. Men suffer from multiple sclerosis much less often. This disease is not synonymous with senile sclerosis and has no age restrictions.

When a disease occurs, scars appear on the nerve endings, reduce sensitivity and reactions to what is happening, stop a person’s intellectual work, destroy memory and stop the functioning of neurons.

The hidden development of this disease does not make it possible to detect it in a timely and complete manner, and often, when it is already diagnosed, therapy begins very late, which gives only a temporary therapeutic effect.

With rapid treatment of this pathology, the disease can, if not be cured, then be completely stopped at the stage of development, which will make it possible to preserve brain activity and important human organs.

Types of multiple sclerosis

Each disease has types and subtypes, and all of them proceed differently, due to their characteristics and have their own symptoms.

Isolated clinical form of multiple sclerosis. This type of course is a certain type of multiple sclerosis disease and has some of its own pathology from all other types.
The relapsing-remitting form of multiple sclerosis is a common type of disease progression, which is determined by alternating remission and progression of the disease. During life, which periods can be extended over years, these stages can alternate. It is very difficult to predict the stages of development. Perhaps the occurrence of one or another stage is influenced by the external circumstances of the patient. During calm, remission, the altered cells of the brain and organs are completely restored and improve the state of brain activity.
Secondary progressive multiple sclerosis. With all this type of sclerosis pathology, severe damage to the human Central Nervous System occurs. There is a constant progression of the disease without remission.
Remitting progressive multiple sclerosis. With this type of pathology of multiple sclerosis, a sharp development of the disease occurs. During remission, the processes of destruction of the central nervous system, continuing to destroy a person’s personality, do not stop and affect the functioning of internal organs and the brain.
Primary progressive multiple sclerosis is a disease with such a course, it constantly acts progressively, increasing the lesions of the brain and central nervous system, and has a powerful effect on the functioning of the internal organs of a person.

With the development of multiple sclerosis, regardless of its gradation, it does not seem likely to make a prognosis for the course of multiple sclerosis. Because in the initial stage, when symptoms have already appeared, they are not pronounced and may correspond to various types of this disease.

The relapsing type of progression is the most common type of multiple sclerosis, which is easily cured in the early stages.

Naturally, healing depends on the characteristics of each person, genetics, immune system, and the body’s ability to regenerate.
Official medicine divides multiple sclerosis into a malignant type and a benign type.

With the benign type, the disease develops without symptoms, the so-called latent type, which can last from 10 to 30 years.
With malignant development, multiple sclerosis disease develops very quickly; in one year, these hidden processes can lead the human body to disability.

Possible causes of sclerosis

Scientists around the world still cannot say the cause of multiple sclerosis in the human body. And what starts this process. But there are suggestions that the main trigger for triggering this disease is the unfavorable environmental environment in which a person is located, poor nutrition, great emotional and physical stress, a person being in a state of constant stress, genetic predisposition, alcohol and nicotine addiction, improper work immune, lymphatic and other body systems. But this process is triggered by a combination of these and other factors that worked simultaneously.

Clinic for the course of multiple sclerosis disease

Due to damage to the brain and spinal cord of the body, a man’s physical and mental abilities decrease. The quality of life changes dramatically; he can no longer cope without outside help. Which is psychologically uncomfortable for him. In severe cases, complete paralysis of the body is possible, which requires only pastel mode. In this case, physical therapy is necessary to restore full or partial physical activity.

Diagnosis of multiple sclerosis

Multiple sclerosis is diagnosed according to an analysis of hereditary predisposition, as well as according to an examination by a neurologist, with indicators confirming the diagnosis. Also, a complete picture will be shown by an MRI of the brain with the introduction of a contrast agent, which clearly shows plaques in the brain, which clearly confirm this diagnosis. They also use special electrical stimulation that monitors the conduction of impulses from different groups of nerves. By examining the cerebrospinal fluid, it is possible to diagnose hidden viruses and infections that develop in the brain tissue and reflect their effect on the entire body. It is also necessary to conduct studies on the level of immunoglobulins and leukocytes. With the combined data of an extensive study, an accurate diagnosis can be made.

Symptoms of the disease

Symptoms may vary for each man, depending on what part of the body is affected. Also, symptoms may disappear and appear at different times, and manifest themselves in different ways. But there are common features of this disease that exist in official medicine:

loss of some degree of sensation in the arms and legs;
instability of vision, then its loss, then restoration;
clumsiness and unsteadiness of gait;
periodic headaches and dizziness;
impotence and urinary incontinence.

If treatment is completely refused, a man may become completely blind, swallowing and speech functions will disappear, mental abilities and adequacy of behavior will be lost, and dementia will be detected.

If such symptoms are detected, urgent resuscitation and removal from a critical situation are necessary.

Consequences of multiple sclerosis for a sick man

With early diagnosis and competent ongoing therapy, a man can live a happy, harmonious, almost healthy life. But with late diagnosis, unwillingness to be treated, or improperly selected therapy, multiple sclerosis can lead to death due to failure of internal organs, although this disease is not fatal.

Recovery forecasts

It is impossible to predict how the disease will behave at different stages, with different methods of therapy. But you need to help your body in addition to drug treatment to increase immunity and relieve symptoms, use methods such as proper nutrition, give up alcohol and smoking, it is advisable to stop eating red meat, undergo psychotherapy, yoga and Ayurveda help in the early stages. A special massage will also be very effective. Physiotherapy with currents is also effective. Acupuncture. Blood purification procedures are carried out. Perhaps hormonal therapy and taking antioxidants will help. It’s difficult to say which treatment method will help, but the main thing is not to give up and not allow yourself to be left to the will of doctors and life. We must continue to live, do what we love, and help people. Lead an active life as much as possible, which is very important for every man. Help from loved ones is very important with this syndrome. Therefore, if it is not there, you need to go to a special clinic or invite a specialist who knows how to provide assistance to such patients.

Some clinics provide treatment by relieving symptoms, drug treatment is aimed at strengthening the body's protective functions, and physiotherapy is performed. There is psychological help to help a person get out of a state of impasse. Group physical exercises, which are specially designed to train certain muscle groups and ligaments, are perceived by sick people very joyfully. This includes communication with people who are familiar with this disease and training.

Treatment of multiple sclerosis with folk remedies has not been studied or proven. Therefore, resorting to it is quite risky. But it is possible to study this topic. And if one of the methods has been tested by other patients and received a positive assessment, it should be used only after consultation with the attending physician.

Scientists are developing new treatment principles every year, and the process of finding a treatment method does not stop. Therefore, in the near future, a disease such as multiple sclerosis in men will be easy to treat. And she will leave the list of incurables.

Everyday life

Housework requires a lot of effort. Patients can be helped to cope with everyday life by loved ones, social services and the Internet. Social services can provide cleaning staff, and food delivery, medicine, equipment, clothing and furniture can be ordered online. If difficulties arise with household chores, you can analyze how to equip, organize and arrange your home space to make housework easier.

The lifestyle of people with multiple sclerosis depends on the course of the disease. With early diagnosis of the disease and timely treatment with modern drugs, it is possible to slow down the development of the disease and the onset of disability. But, of course, one of the key elements is a person’s attitude and the support of those around him, and World Multiple Sclerosis Day is needed to remind of this!
