In my recent exploration of Paget's Disease and its impact on fertility and pregnancy, I've discovered that this condition can potentially influence reproductive health. While it's primarily known for affecting bone health, there is some evidence suggesting that it may interfere with hormone regulation, thus potentially impacting fertility. Pregnant women with Paget's Disease may also experience additional discomfort due to the extra weight and strain on their affected bones.
