What is pregnancy associated osteoporosis?
Answered By Editor
Pregnancy-associated osteoporosis is a
condition that affects pregnant women usually
at the third trimester or at the postpartum
period. This typical kind of osteoporosis is
a rare condition and women who are affected
complain of back pain, weight loss, vertebral
fractures and loss of height. Although the
causes of pregnancy-associated osteoporosis
are not really known, research has linked
this kind of osteoporosis to pre-existing
conditions in pregnant women and genetic
factors.
