Multiple sclerosis patients under the age of 50 with only a slight handicap were very often found to have disturbances of sexual functions (among male patients 71.4%; among female patients 73.9%; control group 18.7%). In 19.6% of the cases, the disturbances were of a serious nature. These disturbances, as well as disturbances of function of bladder and colon, were found to be mainly brought about by separate damage in the lumbosacral region of the spinal cord. The incidence of these disturbances bore no relationship to the degree of motor disturbances, age of the patient or duration of the disease.
经常发现，50岁以下仅有轻微残疾的多发性硬化症患者常有性功能障碍（男性患者中为71.4%；女性患者中为73.9%；对照组为18.7%）。在19.6%的病例中，这些障碍性质严重。这些障碍以及膀胱和结肠功能障碍主要是由脊髓腰骶部的单独损伤引起的。这些障碍的发生率与运动障碍程度、患者年龄或病程无关。
