Overview

Hormones play a critical role in overall health, and for people living with (MS), they can impact symptoms, disease progression, and overall well-being in unique ways. This webinar explores the complex relationship between MS and hormonal health in both men and women, addressing key differences and shared concerns.

Learn how hormones influence MS symptoms such as fatigue, mood changes, cognition, and pain, and how to distinguish between symptoms caused by hormonal fluctuations versus those directly related to MS. We’ll also discuss the effects of menopause, andropause (male hormone decline), thyroid function, and reproductive health on MS, along with strategies for managing hormone-related challenges.
