Question:
Why do Autoimune conditions include severe incontinence in some cases?
My wife is not getting any satisfactory answers to this question so someone out there please help
Answers:
It really does depend on the Autoimmune condition.
MS for example is a condition where the insulating sheaths aroung the nerves in the brain and spinal cord break down and get replaced by hard scar tissue.
This affects the conducting ability of the nerve and if it supplies the bowel or bladder the nerve supply to this organ is compromised. because of this the organ doesn't function properly hence you can become incontinent.
A more common symptom of MS is your bladder doesn't release for up to 36 hours!!
If you can be a little more specific about the condition I may be able to give you a more concise answer.
