Brief Answer:
WHAT DO YOU MEAN BY MS?

Detailed Answer:
Hello,

Thanks for posting a query,

What is the exact term of MS? is it multiple sclerosis or mitral stenosis? For your vision defect i suggest you to consult an ophthalmologist to confirm the presbiopia, which is very common in your age group.

Incontinence can be treated by Muscle tightening exercises, electric stimulation and some oral medicines.

Do follow up with detailed description so that i can help you to maximum extent.

Take care.

Hello,

Thanks for the follow up,
Even though blurred vision and loss of memory are the signs of multiple sclerosis. we cannot conclude it with out proper investigations like MRI brain and evoked potential test.

Along with ophthalmologist i suggest you to consult a neurologist to confirm the diagnosis.

Take care.
