Abstract

Objective: To resume each specialist's role in the management of neurologic urinary tract symptoms (nLUTS) and sexual dysfunctions (SD) in patients suffering from multiple sclerosis (MS). Material and Methods: We asked a neurologist, a urologist and a gynecologist, experts on neuro-urology and sexual dysfunction at our hospital, to resume their role in the management of nLUTS and SD in MS patients based on the review of current evidence. PubMed was used to review literature with a focus on nLUTS and SD in MS patients. Conclusions: The difference in symptomatology in MS patients is very wide. The more the CNS is involved, the more the variations and severity of nLUTS is present. SD have numerous causes and should always be assessed. Urologists play the director's role in evaluating and treating these patients. Neurologist should play an important role, they must evaluate the potential mutual interactions between disease manifestations of MS and their treatments. Additionally, gynecologists play an important information sharing role in the management of patients with multiple sclerosis.
