Most
of the diseases or disorders affect human body exhibiting
symptoms that facilitate
their recognition. Multiple Sclerosis (MS)
also displays
its signs with
multiple symptoms like visual disturbances, muscle spasms, fatigue,
loss of sensation and many others.
Basically
affecting the nerves of the brain and the spinal cord, Multiple
Sclerosis is a disease in which the nerves of the central nervous
system degenerate. The insulation to the nerves is provided by myelin
and these improves the conduction of impulses along the nerves
greatly helping in the communication between brain and spinal cord
cells with the other parts of the body. However the degeneration of
myelin affects this communication as the electrical impulses that
travel along these nerves decelerate. As more nerves get affected the
person affected starts feeling the interference in functions
controlled by the nervous system such as speech, walking, writing,
memory and vision.
Multiple
Sclerosis is commonly diagnosed in the age group of 20 – 40 years,
however can occur at any age. This is a commonly found problem in
women than in men. It is understood that it may occur as a result of
a combination of genetic, infectious and environmental factors. The
very common symptoms seen in a person affected with MS may resemble
the symptoms of any other nervous disease or disorders. These may be
problems in coordination in making movements, problems in walking,
numbness, fatigue, double vision, rapid eye movements, muscle spasms,
tingling or pain, burning sensation in arms and legs, slurred speech,
unable to concentrate, dizziness, depression and many more.
The
Problems like Multiple Sclerosis do call for medical intervention and
treatment and the most important part of
a treatment is
finding
a thorough
and good
neurologist. As there is no definite cure for this;
it involves therapies to find some relief and hence is highly
important to find an experienced neurologist who can guide you
through this phase in getting back to your normal life. And in
such a scenario, Dr. Gupte’s Spine & Brain Clinic headed by Dr.
Avneesh Gupte is one of the best hospitals to approach. With
its team of doctors who are highly competent and dedicated to their
profession,
MS may receive a full and complete treatment.
Doctors
at this hospital say they have commonly found block in the neck veins
(Internal Jugular Vein) and spine veins (Azygous vein) in the
Multiple Sclerosis patients. As there is no known cure for MS now
they believe in the liberation surgery and stem cell treatment.
Although the degenerated cells cannot be reverted back, the doctors
have found that this liberation surgery has worked wonders for many
of their patients.
