Abstract

Pregnancy-related low back pain is a common problem during pregnancy. More than half of all pregnant women experience low back pain at some time during pregnancy. The pain can vary from a mild discomfort to being severe and disabling. In one-third of these women, pain is a severe problem compromising activities of daily living, work and sleep. The awareness of the possible impact of low back pain on the quality of life and the associated costs to society has increased medical attention over the last decade. Pain usually develops between the fifth and seventh month of pregnancy but may appear as early as the first trimester. Moreover, some women who experience back pain during pregnancy experience persistent back pain in the postpartum period or have an increased risk of back pain in subsequent pregnancies, and many women with chronic back pain link its onset to a pregnancy. Despite its high frequency, there are some ambiguities inherent in the terminology, diagnosis and classification. The etiology and pathogenesis are not yet clearly understood. The etiology of pain is probably related to a combination of mechanical, hormonal and vascular contributing factors. Low back pain in pregnancy is most commonly subdivided into lumbar pain and posterior pelvic pain. This subdivision is important in terms of both management and prognosis. Characteristic findings and treatment may differ between the two categories. Accurate assessment and effective treatment are important for managing the low back pain of pregnancy. The purpose of the present article was to provide a summary review of the performed studies on pregnancy-related low back pain.

Özet

Bel ağrısı gebelikte sık görülen bir problemdir. Gebe kadınların yarısından fazlası gebeliklerinin herhangi bir döneminde bel ağrısından yakınırlar. Ağrı hafif rahatsızlık hissinden ciddi ve dizabiliteye neden olacak şiddet arasında değişiklik gösterebilir. Bu kadınların üçte birinde ağrı, günlük yaşam aktiviteleri, işe gitme ve uykuyu etkileyecek kadar şiddetlidir. Bel ağrısının yaşam kalitesi üzerine etkileri ve topluma maliyetinin fark edilmesi son dekatta bu konuya olan medikal ilgiyi artırmıştır. Ağrı genellikle gebeliğin 5-7. aylarında görülür ancak ilk trimestrde de ortaya çıkabilir. Ayrıca gebelikteki bel ağrısı postpartum dönemde de devam edebilir, sonraki gebeliklerde bel ağrısı için risk oluşturur ve pek çok kronik bel ağrılı kadının bel ağrısının başlangıcı gebelikle ilişkilidir. Sık görülmesine rağmen terminoloji, tanı ve sınıflamada belirsizlikler mevcuttur. Etyoloji ve patogenez tam olarak anlaşılamamıştır. Etyoloji olasılıkla eşlik eden mekanik, hormonal ve vasküler kombinasyonuyla ilişkilidir. Gebelikteki bel ağrısı genellikle lomber ağrı ve posterior pelvik ağrı olarak ayrılır. Bu ayırım hem tedavi ve hem de prognoz açısından önem taşır. Karakteristik bulgular ve tedavi bu iki grup arasında farklılık gösterebilir. Doğru değerlendirme ve etkili tedavi gebelikteki bel ağrısının tedavisi için önemlidir. Bu yazıda gebelikle ilişkili bel ağrısı üzerine yapılan çalışmaların ışığında konu ile ilgili derleme sunulmuştur.
