Cure multiple sclerosis is not simple because the cause of the disease is quite complicated. Furthermore, treatment for multiple sclerosis is a form of protection for the nervous system and organs. Read on to find out why you need early treatment for multiple sclerosis.
1. The effects of not having enough time to treat multiple sclerosis
Treatment of multiple sclerosis can be difficult for many patients. Anxiety is a barrier that prevents patients from wanting to undergo treatment. In addition, the dangers of complications or side effects from drug treatment make patients more anxious and afraid when making choices. Others may choose to delay medical help if their condition is mild and symptoms are few.
However, we all need to understand that long-term multiple sclerosis will be dangerous to health. Early treatment of multiple sclerosis can limit the progression of the disease. At the same time, if the related problems are detected and treated, the complications that may appear will be minimized. However, to ensure long-term health for patients, the treatment method is always a problem that causes difficulties for the medical team.
One of the symptoms of multiple sclerosis is damage to the nervous system. We also know the root cause of multiple sclerosis is weakness and inflammation in the blood vessels or brain. Early treatment of multiple sclerosis can reduce inflammation and minimize the effects of the disease. Nerves play a very important role in all human activities. When a person has multiple sclerosis, the myelin sheath is destroyed, leading to nerve damage. Since then, the ability to communicate between organs and the brain has plummeted.
The remarkable point in patients with multiple sclerosis is the direct attack on the immune system. Depletion of myelin affects the protective layer causing inflammation and serious damage to the nervous system. When damaged, an MRI scan can be used to find some scars or areas of inflammation. According to the treatment results from the patients, most of the nerve damage was found in the brain, brain and spinal cord and optic nerve. As the attack gets stronger, the body and brain lose communication.
When the body is attacked by MS, there is a relapse of the symptoms and the symptoms will be checked. MS relapses after a period of time with signs of decreasing, so it is possible that the condition has improved or is temporarily not dangerous. Medical estimates suggest that the symptoms of multiple sclerosis appear every time MS is under attack and drastically reduce a person's cognition.
To reduce the severity, some therapy is needed. This mainly works to improve immune system function. At the same time, it is possible to combine several drugs to minimize the risk of nerve damage. Secondary MS is indicative of a remission phase. So if you plan your treatment well, your body will have a chance to recover.
2. Negative reactions when not getting early treatment for multiple sclerosis
Multiple sclerosis treatment can be ineffective and comes with many unwanted side effects and risks. Because of these points, the patient may choose to refuse treatment for fear that the disease will then worsen before proceeding. However, signs of side effects detected were mainly mild irritation at the injection site or the appearance of a person having the flu. Severe and serious can be a premise to cause cancer for patients. Most importantly, when treating you should have a doctor to support the problem always to ensure the highest safety.
3. Complications in patients with multiple sclerosis if untreated
Statistics on the number of patients who refuse treatment show that the majority will be quadriplegic after 20-25 years. This period is also not too short when the age of the disease is usually 20 - 50 years old. They always assume that the time until complete paralysis is long enough that no treatment is needed to avoid the risk of side effects developing more quickly. But on the doctor's side, treating multiple sclerosis early is still the best option. Without treatment, when the disease is severe, there will be no specific medicine for this disease.
In the group of patients who made the decision to delay treatment, many negative psychological manifestations appeared. Every day the brain is under attack that leads to damage. When the body is no longer able to move, the brain and nerves cannot transmit communication to the muscles. Even more dangerous is that in this condition most patients no longer have the opportunity to recover from treatment.
Treating multiple sclerosis early will limit the dangers to the nervous system. However, the treatment and method of use will not be fixed. You need to regularly check your health periodically or notify your doctor when you may have unusual symptoms.
