Abstract
Pregnancy-related lumbopelvic pain has been a serious and common problem since ancient time. The present review article focuses on terminology, types, clinical presentation, and management of these problems. There are two entities regarding pregnancy-related lumbopelvic pain: pelvic girdle pain (PGP), and pregnancy-related low back pain (LBP). There are multiple mechanisms behind these disabilities. Age, multiparty, heavy weight lifting, hard physical activity, previous LBP, and low education increase the prevalence. About one-half of women with pregnancy-related lumbopelvic pain have PGP, one-third LBP, and one-sixth have both conditions. Overall, the literature reveals that PGP deserves serious attention from the clinical and economic standpoints.
Highlights
Low back pain (LBP) is a common complaint in pregnant women almost 50% of pregnant women experience LBP during their pregnancy.[1]It can cause severe effects on daily life activities and even can alter the psychological status of the patients.[2]LBP in pregnancy can classify into lumbar pain (LP) and Pelvic girdle pain (PGP)
LBP aggravates with some posture and aggravates in prolong sitting, and it is more common in the postpartum period
Management in the Postpartum Period Hospital stay and morbidity after normal vaginal delivery (NVD) are more severe in patients with PGP compared to women with LBP, so they need more analgesics, Pelvic supports, and physiotherapy and they need more periods of bed rests
