Lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS) are highly prevalent in individuals with multiple sclerosis (MS). However, assessment of these symptoms is often hindered by vague definitions or absence of screening in asymptomatic patients. It is crucial to exercise caution when applying the non-neurogenic definition of urinary retention in this population. For men with MS experiencing persistent and treatment-resistant LUTS, urodynamic studies should be used to identify the underlying causes of symptoms. Although numerous therapies are presently accessible for managing LUTS in MS, there is a need for further investigation into emerging treatments such as percutaneous tibial nerve, and noninvasive brain stimulation.
