Paget's Disease Treatment Cost in India

Paget's Disease treatment in India typically ranges from $500 to $6,000 USD, depending on the hospital, city, and type of procedure.

This page covers Paget's disease of bone. The NHS notes that Paget's disease of the nipple or breast, penis and vulva are separate conditions. For Paget's disease of bone, cost depends on:

• Diagnosis: blood tests for bone turnover and imaging to find affected bones.
• Medicine: bisphosphonate treatment to slow abnormal bone turnover.
• Supportive therapy: physiotherapy, occupational therapy and walking aids.
• Surgery for complications: for fractures, deformity or severe joint damage, which costs considerably more.

According to the NHS, Paget's disease disrupts the normal cycle of bone renewal: old bone is broken down faster than usual and the new bone formed is larger and weaker. Key points:

• Who gets it: mainly older people; it is rare in people under 50.
• Bones affected: often the pelvis, spine or skull.
• Symptoms: bone or joint pain, warmth over the bone, change in bone shape, or nerve symptoms; many people have none.
• Family history: increases the risk.

The NHS states there is no cure, but treatment can control symptoms. Options include:

• Monitoring: people without symptoms may not need treatment straight away.
• Bisphosphonates: slow bone renewal and help control pain.
• Calcium and vitamin D: to support bone health.
• Surgery: if problems such as fractures, deformities or severe joint damage develop, for example joint replacement.

The NHS lists possible complications:

• Fractures: the affected bone may break more easily.
• Osteoarthritis: in nearby joints.
• Hearing loss: if the skull is affected.
• Heart problems: in extensive disease.
• Bone cancer: rarely.

New or worsening pain in an affected bone should always be reported.
