Abstract
Pregnancy is associated with a reduction in bone mineral density (BMD), which has been linked to pregnancy-related back pain. This study aimed to assess changes in BMD by conducting ultrasound assessments of the os calcis two years postpregnancy. Sixty women who experienced back pain during pregnancy participated in a follow-up study 24 to 28 months later to evaluate persistent symptoms. Results showed that 24 (40%) of these women continued to experience back pain. Comparisons between BMD values during pregnancy and quantitative ultrasound measurements of os calcis BMD revealed that women with persistent pain had lost more BMD during pregnancy compared to those without ongoing symptoms. Additionally, women without persistent pain were able to recover their BMD loss during pregnancy, while those with ongoing pain experienced lower BMD levels post-pregnancy compared to early pregnancy levels. These findings suggest that BMD loss during pregnancy may contribute to persistent back pain after pregnancy
