Understanding Multiple Sclerosis: Causes, Symptoms, and Management

Multiple Sclerosis (MS) is a chronic neurological condition that affects the central nervous system (CNS), which includes the brain and spinal cord. It occurs when the immune system mistakenly attacks the protective sheath (myelin) surrounding nerve fibers, leading to inflammation, damage, and disrupted communication between the brain and the rest of the body.

Causes of Multiple Sclerosis

The exact cause of MS remains unknown, but research suggests it is a combination of genetic and environmental factors.
