Abstract

Osteoporosis related to pregnancy and lactation is a rare, secondary form of osteoporosis. It involves a decrease in bone mineral density and disturbances in microarchitecture, leading to fractures. This paper presents a rare case where a 34-year-old patient was treated with denosumab for severe osteoporosis related to pregnancy and lactation. The diagnosis was made after extensive differential diagnosis had been conducted. After a year of denosumab treatment, an increase in mineral density, relief from pain, and functional improvement were achieved. Currently, there are no guidelines for treating such osteoporosis, but denosumab appears to be a safe and effective alternative to bisphosphonates.
