Osteoporosi associata a gravidanza e allattamento (PLAO)
摘要
Pregnancy and Lactation-Associated Osteoporosis (PLAO) is a condition of skeletal fragility typically manifesting as multiple vertebral fractures during the third trimester or lactation. Its incidence is likely underestimated. Clinical workup necessitates ruling out secondary causes and assessing bone mineral density. Initial management involves optimising calcium intake, vitamin D supplementation and the cessation of breastfeeding. Pharmacotherapy (off-label) remains controversial; it is recommended to await spontaneous recovery and reserve anabolic agents only for severe cases or those with insufficient recovery.
