Abstract
Introduction:Symphysis pubis dysfunction (spd) has been recog nized as an obstetric condition since the time of hip- pocrates. In spite of this long history, many medical staff remain unaware of the condition. Women continue to suffer from symphysis pubis pain with considerable reduction in quality of life during pregnancy. In recent years there has been an upsurge in the reported incidence of spd partly due to gross pre- vious under recognition. Methodology:This is a retrospective observational study.in this study we studied a total of 56 pregnant women , who were referred to department of orthopedics of darbhanga medical college and hospital, for back pain, over a period of 6 months, from january 2018 to july 2018.the obsterical team referred the patients , after ruling out obstetric complications (preterm labor, abruption, red degeneration of uterine fibroid, round ligament pain, and chorioamnionitis), and urinary tract infections Observations:Most of the patients were aged 25-30, and maximum patients were second or third time pregnant. This table shows that the maximum no 28/56 (50%) of patients had pelvic girdle pain, followed by plbp 15/56(26.78%). 39/56(70%)of paients were relieved by these simple measures, and physical therapy. Pharmacotherapy. A total of 12/56 (21.42%) patients needed pharmacotherapy. Conclusion:Pgp and plbp are common problems, but they are often underestimated and undertreated. A large number of terms for these conditions have been used in the literature, and there is a need for a uniform terminology in order to promote research and management of these conditions
