Pregnancy- and lactation-associated osteoporosis (PLO) is a rare disorder, usually occurring in late pregnancy and the early post-partum period. The prevalence, etiology, pathogenesis and therapy remains unclear. Three clinical cases of PLO present patients with multiple severe osteoporotic fractures during the peri-pregnancy period and different treatment strategies.
