What causes pain in the buttocks and coccyx?

If you experience vertebral pain, you should go to the hospital for examination to understand the specific cause. There are many causes, such as trauma. If there is a trauma, it will cause pain. In addition, if there is a sacral tumor, it will also cause pain. For some women, if they have gynecological diseases, it will often cause this kind of pain symptoms. In addition, if there are rectal polyps or rectal tumors, it may also cause pain in the coccyx.

Go to the hospital for examination and diagnosis

When you feel pain in your coccyx, there are generally two situations. One is immediate pain, which is more common when it is caused by a fracture due to being touched by a hard object, or due to other conditions caused by the function of a certain part of the body. The other is chronic pain, which has been happening for a while, but you have not paid attention to it. Find out the situation clearly and then go to the hospital for examination and diagnosis. It is usually examined through X-rays and internal examination.

If the coccyx pain is caused by illness, then treatment is required with the cooperation of a doctor. There are many such cases, and you must go to the hospital, especially the elderly.

1. Sit in the correct posture and avoid sitting for long periods of time. The first thing I want to talk about is the sitting posture. In fact, working in an office is really uncomfortable. It’s okay in an open office, but if it’s a cubicle, the space is very small and it is really depressing. If you don’t get up and walk around from time to time, you will end up sitting for a long time. If you want to change, you need to keep your head up, chest out, and stomach in, and sit in two-thirds of the seat, or if it is a swivel chair, fill it up fully. Get up and walk around after sitting for half an hour or an hour, and you can put the water cup somewhere farther away from yourself.

2. Choose a suitable chair surface when sitting, and if possible, buy an air cushion. If you already have problems with your cervical or lumbar spine, you can choose a wooden chair instead of a soft one. If your coccyx problem is more serious, you can add air cushions to the chair surface, or a cushion for treating hemorrhoids will also work.

3. Exercise more, stand more, twist your waist and hips more, and massage more. Exercising more does not necessarily mean running. Running is not good for men. Brisk walking or strength exercises are more suitable. Don't sit if you can stand. When standing, you can twist your waist and hips more. When you get home and lie in bed at night, you can massage the painful area more.

4. Take a sitz bath or apply hot compress. Once or twice a week is enough and it will be more effective. If you are taking a sitz bath, the temperature should not be too high and the bathtub should not be too full. You can also take a sitz bath without a bathtub. It's okay to use a higher temperature for hot compresses.

5. Be careful not to get hit when riding a bicycle or electric bike. The last thing I want to remind you is that when riding a bicycle or electric bike, if the seat is too hard, you can temporarily stop riding during the period of pain.
