We describe the case of a young 27-year-old Caucasian female who presented in the third trimester of her first pregnancy with sudden and severe suprapubic and left-sided hip pain without history of trauma. She was eventually diagnosed with two insufficiency fractures of the pelvis. The underlying diagnosis was pregnancy-related osteoporosis. Her baby was delivered successfully at term, with an elective caesarean section. The diagnosis was eventually made using a magnetic resonance imaging scan. Pregnancy-related osteoporosis is relatively rare, and cases of patients presenting with insufficiency fractures of this condition are rarer still. Our case raises the importance of considering this diagnosis in females in the later stages of pregnancy, with severe sudden hip or pelvis pain. The patient gave informed written consent for the publication of this case.

Nevertheless, many controversies remain regarding diagnosis, prognosis, and treatment options.

Transient pregnancy-related osteoporosis of the hip is a rare, idiopathic, benign, and usually self-limiting condition caused by edema of the bone marrow, which can be visualized on magnetic resonance imaging. Bilateral localization of the disease is even less common. Our case concerns a 31-year-old primigravida who, during the 35th week of pregnancy, was hospitalized at the Obstetrics and Gynecology Clinic of the General Hospital of Trikala with lumbar and hip pain.

Women are considered to have an irregular menstrual cycle if their cycle length is less than 21 days or more than 35 days, accompanied by less or very severe blood flow. The prevalence of menstrual cycle irregularities varies across countries. Irregular periods can occur due to changes in the body's levels of estrogen and progesterone hormones, which disrupt the normal pattern of the period.
