Multiple sclerosis (MS) is an inflammatory disease that affects the central nervous system (CNS). In MS, the immune system does not function normally and it launches attacks on the brain and spinal cord, which make up the CNS. The immune cells target the fatty insulation that surrounds the wires, or axons, of the nerves. This insulation, or myelin, helps the nerves conduct signals more quickly and efficiently. Without the myelin, the nerves do not fire well and are also more susceptible to damage. Symptoms in MS are related to this dysfunction. Depending on what part of the CNS is attacked, people will experience different symptoms including vision loss, weakness, numbness, and loss of balance, among other possible symptoms.

What can an international patient expect from Multiple Sclerosis doctors?

The doctor will also discuss the treatment plan for Multiple Sclerosis, alternative options, the pros and cons associated with each option and the possible risks as well as complications to educate and help the patient make the decision. They provide a comprehensive evaluation report and discuss the treatment in-depth with the patient during their consultation. For internation patients, they offer teleconsultation services to educate them about their condition and treatment options. These consultations help the patients and their families understand the treatment better and provide them a chance to ask questions or clear their doubts. The doctors are involved in the entire treatment process, from the pre-treatment phase to post-treatment care.

Once the patient is ready for the treatment, the Multiple Sclerosis surgeon addresses his team members and shares the details of the case with them. The team members prepare for Multiple Sclerosis and set up a convenient date for the procedure with the patient’s approval. The team will provide the patient a few instructions and guidelines for the pre-treatment phase. Also, the Multiple Sclerosis hospital initiates the formalities and ensures the hospital stay is comfortable. The patient will have to submit documents for any insurance claim approval.
