Bladder, Bowel & sexuality Webinar (LWUK)

Some people with MS will never experience bowel problems. But up to seven in 10 people with MS will get bowel problem at some stage. It can be embarrassing and distressing but discussing the issue and getting the right support and advice can help. It may impact your ability to socialise, work and enjoy sexual activities. However, recent improvements in the diagnosis, management, and treatment of these symptoms mean their impact can be reduced or mitigated.

We’ll be joined by two experts Susan Daly, Senior Coloplast Nurse Scotland, and Julie Dock, MS Nurse Revive MS. We hope that by opening the discussion we can help you understand more about these problems, the challenges faced and how and where to access professional support.

Our webinars offer a safe, fact-based space that you can attend anonymously. These events are for anyone affected by MS; whether you are living with MS, a friend, family member, carer or colleague of someone living with MS or a healthcare professional. Our webinars are recorded and we send a copy out to all those who register.
