    Abstract:
    In differential diagnosis of low back pain in women defects of the skeletal system as well as affections of the female genital organs must be considered. In these diseases low back pain may be caused directly by mechanic or indirectly by nervous factors. It is referred to the possibility of differentiation of low back pain by clinical symptoms. Based on new findings particularly osteoporosis makes close cooperation of the two medical specialties-orthopedics and gynecology-necessary, because the question of oestrogen application for prophylaxis and therapy of osteoporosis arises.
