Abstract
Pregnancy-associated osteoporosis is a rare condition characterized by a transient but significant reduction in bone mineral density. To date, the underlying pathophysiological mechanisms remain unclear. Related symptoms include severe back or hip pain secondary to vertebral fractures and/or transient osteoporosis of the hip, which typically occur during the third trimester or during lactation. Although most women are managed conservatively, a few women need surgery. Prompt diagnosis and appropriate treatment is important not only for pain control, but also to improve the woman's future quality of life.
