Living with TRANSVERSE MYELITIS

Transverse myelitis is a neurological condition characterized by inflammation across a segment of the spinal cord. This inflammation interrupts the signals that the spinal cord nerves send throughout the body, causing symptoms like pain, sensory issues, and motor control difficulties.

The onset can be sudden or gradual, but the consequences are often life-altering. It impacts various aspects of daily living, including urinary and bowel functions.

challenges for patients

One of the most significant challenges associated with POP is the impact on quality of life. Issues such as urinary incontinence or difficulty urinating can result in a substantial decrease in confidence and social activity. The sensation of pelvic heaviness or pressure often intensifies throughout the day, causing discomfort during physical activity. Sexual dysfunction is another issue that can strain relationships and impact self-esteem. Finally, bowel difficulties such as constipation or incomplete emptying can be equally distressing.

Solution Recommendations

Managing bladder dysfunction is a key aspect of living with transverse myelitis, and catheters are often recommended for this purpose. Intermittent catheterization is usually the first line of defense, helping to maintain a scheduled voiding routine and reduce the risks associated with incontinence and infections. Hydrophilic or pre-lubricated catheters are often recommended for ease of use and comfort. For patients who cannot perform self-catheterization, indwelling catheters might be a viable option.
