Does pregency prouke MS ? lf yes ......... What is the treatment ?

Answer 1

I think you've not received answers for your question because it is difficult to understand exactly what you are asking.

I'll assume you ~might~ be asking if pregnancy causes M.S. The simple answer is "no".

M.S. is a neurological autoimmune chronic illness which can lead to severe disabilities, and it stands for Multiple Sclerosis, which means, "Multiple or Many Scars". Although there are many ~possible~ causes, no one has come up with a complete answer as yet.

If you think you have M.S., then you must see a neurologist to determine if this is the case. Nowadays, an MRI is the usual method in which M.S. is diagnosed. If the MRI's "pictures" of your brain show lesions (scars), and you exhibit "classic" symptons of this condition, usually the diagnosis will confirm the condition. M.S., when it wishes to be discovered, hides nothing, and you will KNOW something is "desparately wrong" with you.

As for becoming pregnant ~after~ you have already been diagnosed with M.S., typically, M.S. symptons subside or "go silent" during the term of the pregnancy. This is what one expert writes:

"... research at the University of Colorado suggests that the effects of pregnancy on the course of MS may be positive as well as negative. In a study of 65 women with MS, neuroepidemio logists Gary Franklin and Lorene Nelson found that symptoms worsened in only nine per cent of the women during pregnancy -- less than half the percentage of non-pregnant women with MS whose symptoms would be expected to worsen in an average nine-month period, says Franklin. But the risk of exacerbation increased in the three months after pregnancy.

If pregnancy does temporarily arrest the disease, what's the protective mechanism? Multiple sclerosis is thought to occur when the immune system attacks the myelin sheath that insulates and protects nerve fibers in the brain and spinal cord. While a woman is pregnant, the theory goes, her immune system is suppressed so that she doesn't reject the fetus. As a result, the myelin that might have been destroyed by the immune system is temporarily spared. But when the pregnancy is over, the immune system turns back on and the symptoms of MS can reappear, sometimes with a vengeance. In the long run, pregnancy doesn't change the course of MS."

What is treatment?

That's for a neurologist to recommend once a diagnosis is made. Doctors can only prescribe drugs, and these medications are "strong" to "fight" or suppress the advances of M.S. Right now, treatments are by injection, and depending on your medications, these injections are done anywhere from 3 times per week to once daily. Apparently, a medication in pill form is now available. There are often side effects with all of these forms of treatment.

What are M.S. symptoms?

-vision disturbances such as double or blurred vision (ocular neuritis is a classic sympton which causes a temporary partial or total vision loss)
-extreme fatigue
-loss of balance
-problems with coordination
-stiffness of muscles
-speech problems
-bladder and bowel problems
-short-term memory problems
-partial or complete paralysis

Who can get M.S.?

Multiple sclerosis can occur at any age. It is usually diagnosed between the ages of 15 to 40. It can make its first appearance in young children and in older adults. MS is more than twice as likely to occur in women than in men and is seen most commonly in people of northern European background.

Some speculate that M.S. is more likely to strike people who live in an environment where there is not a lot of sunshine (lack of Vitamin D). Other factors might contribute, such as a history of M.S. in one's family, or a similar autoimmune condition in the family history (i.e. diabetes).

I hope this answers your questions. Please read the links I've included for you. If you have any more concerns, or questions I am happy to be of help to you.

Answer 2

I understand your question, the following is a excerpt straight from the "National MS Society". And Wilkipedia. Alot of chronic diseases tend to occur more during stressful situations or stress put on the body.
I hope this helps,

“We both want to have a child, but I’m afraid pregnancy will make my wife’s MS worse.”

Research suggests that pregnancy has no negative effect on the overall course of MS although there may be a greater chance of a relapse or exacerbation in the period immediately following pregnancy. MS does not appear to affect the developing fetus or to complicate delivery, and most neurologists do not discourage a couple from having a child. However, a woman who is taking a disease-modifying medication will be advised to stop before getting pregnant. This should be fully discussed with her health-care providers. The parents-to-be also need to consider how they will care for the child should the parent with MS become disabled. These difficulties should not be exaggerated or minimized, but approached realistically. Talking to people with MS who are raising children can be very helpful.

Pregnancy can directly affect the susceptibility for relapse. The last three months of pregnancy offer a natural protection against relapses. However, during the first few months after delivery, the risk for a relapse is increased 20%–40%. Pregnancy does not seem to influence long-term disability. Children born to mothers with MS are not at increased risk for birth defects or other problems.
