If a few decades back the only solution for a man suffering from sexual difficulties because of MS was a penile prosthesis, today much more can be done. Today, the advantages, for both men and women, are not surgical in nature.

For a firm and usable erection, prostaglandin can be injected intracorporally. Another option is vacuum tubes that draw blood into the penis. However, among the most popular options are sildenafil citrate, vardenafil HCI and tadafil - oral agents which can be used with minimal side effects. These need to be taken a half and hour before sexual activity, and give men with MS a very usable erection.

Women suffering from MS and having problems with vaginal lubrication have now their choice of vaginal lubricants. Vibrators can be used to produce stimulation in numb areas, while the application of something cold, like a frozen bag of peas can help decreasing the pain and burning sensation.

The FDA approved EROS device can also be used, as it is designed to gentle and draw blood into the clitoris, thus allowing self or partner directed simulation. Of course, the best way to find more information about the management of sexual dysfunction is to ask about it. Because of shyness, in most cases the problem is not treated.
