Summary

This study aims to find out how often sexual dysfunction occurs in women with relapsing-remitting multiple sclerosis and how it connects to fatigue, depression, anxiety, overactive bladder, and thinking problems. Researchers will use questionnaires and tests to measure these factors in 140 women aged 25-50 who have a regular sexual partner. The goal is to better understand this overlooked issue and guide future care.
