FREIRE VILA, E.; IGLESIA LOPEZ, A. de la; CORRAL LORENZO, C. del  e  CANEDO CARBALLEIRA, M.E.. Pelvic pain in pregnancy: Pubic symphysis dysfunction. Literature review. Rev. Soc. Esp. Dolor [online]. 2010, vol.17, n.7, pp.321-325. ISSN 1134-8046.

Pubic symphysis diastasis in pregnancy is a frequent and underestimated problem that has important repercussions on maternal morbidity and high prevalence of chronic pelvic pain in women. The functional impotence that it causes and the associated severe pain, entails the use of a number of therapeutic alternatives, ranging from bed rest to complex corrective surgery, reinforcing the importance and necessity of a correct approach to this pathology. Our aim is, after studying many cases referred to the Pain Treatment Unit at our centre, to carry out a review of this pathology, contacting patients, reviewing the therapeutic alternatives available for these types of conditions and their repercussions on the quality of life of the maternal-foetal binomial and chronic pain.
