What causes tailbone pain after giving birth?

After giving birth, many women often have many problems with their health. For example, their skin becomes worse, their figure becomes bloated, and even their joints become painful and uncomfortable. It is necessary to detect and understand the specific situation in time so that we can make good preparations for prevention and treatment to avoid worsening of the situation. So what is the reason for coccyx pain after giving birth?

The most prominent symptom is pain at the lowest end of the spine when lying on your back, sitting or straining to go to the toilet after delivery, especially when sitting on something hard. The coccyx is located at the lowest part of the spine. It has very important functions and effects on the human body. However, our coccyx has less fat layer, unlike the buttocks, which has as much meat as that on the buttocks. Many people will experience coccyx pain when sitting down, and in the later stages, even squatting will cause pain. Causes of postpartum coccyx pain include direct trauma to the coccyx or its joint ligaments.

1. Direct trauma: The mother may feel pain in the coccyx, which may be caused by slipping and falling on the ground with her buttocks, or falling on the ground with her buttocks when falling from a height, or the coccyx may be kicked or hit by external objects. Due to sprain of the joint between the vertebrae and coccyx or fracture of the coccyx, local inflammation and pain of the coccyx is caused. Over time, the pain will go away as the injured area heals, but if the healing is poor or not there, the pain will persist.

2. Sitting for a long time causes compression of the coccyx: For mothers with coccyx pain, the most troubling thing is the pain and discomfort in the coccyx when sitting during the confinement period, especially when the coccyx is under pressure. The longer you sit, the more painful it will be. Some mothers even feel uncomfortable when lying flat. At this time, they will feel more comfortable lying on their side or left side, because this posture can reduce the pressure on the coccyx.

3. The coccyx is dislocated or moves abnormally when standing up from a sitting position: Some people feel the most pain when standing up from a sitting position. This is because the coccyx is dislocated or moves abnormally when sitting down. In severe cases of coccyx pain, even walking may be painful.

I believe everyone knows what the pain in the coccyx after giving birth is. It can be said that the vertebrae are key parts of the human body. Once pain occurs, it is impossible to move and walk normally. In severe cases, they even dare not move. This causes great trouble and harm to mothers, and we must find a way to solve the problem as soon as possible.
