Female back pain is a clinical problem-especially low back pain with symptoms from the pelvic posterior region-that is often aggravated in connection with pregnancy and childbirth. Hormones have been suggested as an aetiologic factor. This study is aimed to determine whether additional hormone preparations, i.e. oral contraceptives (OC), may contribute to the increased frequency of such pain.
