This case report details osteitis pubis following vaginal delivery, presenting earlier than previously documented. Low molecular heparin may offer therapeutic benefits for this rare condition.

Area of Science:

Obstetrics and Gynecology
Rheumatology
Sports Medicine

Background:

Osteitis pubis is an uncommon inflammatory condition affecting the pubic symphysis.
It is rarely associated with pregnancy or childbirth.
Etiology and optimal management remain poorly understood.

Observation:

A case of osteitis pubis is presented following a normal vaginal delivery.
Symptom onset occurred earlier than any previously reported instance in the literature.
The patient's presentation mimicked typical osteitis pubis symptoms.

Findings:

The diagnosis of osteitis pubis was confirmed based on clinical presentation and imaging.
The unusual timing of symptom onset post-delivery is a key finding.

The case highlights a potential, albeit rare, complication of vaginal delivery.

Implications:

This case expands the known clinical spectrum of osteitis pubis.
It suggests considering osteitis pubis in the differential diagnosis of postpartum pelvic pain.
The potential role of low molecular heparin in managing this condition warrants further investigation.
