What is the reason for low back and coccyx pain

1. Women's sacrum is wider and shorter, and its forward tilt is smaller than that of men. Their coccyx is moved back and is lower in the pelvis than that of men, making them more susceptible to injury.

2. When a woman becomes pregnant, the pelvic ligaments become looser and the coccyx can be easily pushed out and displaced during childbirth, causing pain.

3. During childbirth, women may experience coccygeal pain caused by birth trauma, which is mostly caused by first birth or difficult birth, as well as rough handling by the midwife. Especially when the pubic arch is narrow, when the fetal head passes through the posterior triangle of the pelvic outlet, the front of the coccyx is subjected to greater pressure, which can easily cause sprain or even fracture of the coccyx joint.

Treatment

1. Take painkillers

2. Electrotherapy, massage and appropriate exercise can all be helpful.

3. Local injection of analgesics can provide relief for some patients

4. If the coccyx is broken, surgery is required, but it is rare that the coccyx needs to be removed due to severe pain.

5. You need a proper cushion made of moderate material, not too hard or too soft.

Specific treatment can be achieved by changing the sitting posture, that is, try to sit with your thighs to reduce the weight and pressure on the buttocks; when sitting, you can use air cushions or air rings to suspend the painful area to prevent local compression and thus relieve pain.
