Popis: 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.
