What is Paget's disease?

Paget's disease is a chronic bone disease that causes bones to thicken and become abnormally large and deformed. It is most common in people over the age of 50 and is more common in men than in women.

Paget's disease is not associated with ureteric colic or increased meningeal vascular grooves.

• Ureteric colic is a type of abdominal pain caused by a stone in the ureter, the tube that carries urine from the kidney to the bladder.

• Meningeal vascular grooves are deep grooves in the skull that contain blood vessels. They are more common in older people and in people with certain medical conditions, such as hypertension and atherosclerosis.

The cause of Paget's disease is unknown, but it is thought to be a combination of genetic and environmental factors. There is no cure for Paget's disease, but treatment can help to manage the symptoms and prevent complications.

Treatment for Paget's disease:

Treatment for Paget's disease may include:

• Bisphosphonate medications to slow the growth of abnormal bone cells.
• Pain relievers to manage pain and inflammation.
• Surgery to correct bone deformities or relieve pressure on nerves.

If you have Paget's disease, it is important to work with your doctor to develop a treatment plan that is right for you.
