Is it true that multiple sclerosis causes urinary incontinence through damage to nerves controlling the bladder?
Yes. Multiple sources confirm that MS lesions damage nerve pathways regulating bladder function, leading to bladder dysfunction and urinary incontinence. A Cleveland Clinic reference explicitly states MS lesions in the brain and spinal cord damage afferent and efferent pathways regulating bladder processes, causing impairment of bladder function.
