Multiple Sclerosis and Libido

Many people suffer from diminished libido (a low desire for sex), regardless of whether they have a chronic condition like multiple sclerosis or not. In fact, according to a recent study published in Obstetrics and Gynecology, low sex drive may affect over 40 percent of women in the United States. In addition, living with MS can put you at increased risk for developing sexual health complications, including decreased libido. The good news is that the double whammy of being female and having MS doesn't mean a healthy and satisfying sex life is something you'll have to sacrifice.
