A Women’s Health Perspective
Women with MPNs face specific challenges, including the impact of their condition on fertility, pregnancy outcomes, and the interaction of treatments with female hormonal cycles. Addressing these concerns requires a holistic approach to care, one that encompasses not just the physical aspects of the disease but also its emotional and psychological dimensions.
