Around 80-85% of people with MS experience bladder problems at some point, which may include incontinence, difficulty urinating, or frequent urges. Most of these problems are due to the interruption of electrical impulses to and from the brain that characterize multiple sclerosis. Although bladder problems may be embarrassing, it is important to have them treated to prevent infections and lifestyle interference. Treatment may be done with drugs, behavioral changes, or catheters.
