What causes tailbone pain after childbirth?

Giving birth is a big deal for women. Although in modern times medical equipment and technology are very advanced, giving birth still involves great risks. The confinement period after giving birth is also the most important period for women. If you are not careful, you may suffer from postpartum diseases. Therefore, careful care during the confinement period is very necessary. So what is the cause of coccyx pain after giving birth?

It may be that during delivery, the baby's head put too much pressure when passing through the birth canal, which may also injure the coccyx and the surrounding soft tissues. Pain in the coccyx area may also be caused by damage to the coccyx or adjacent soft tissues. In addition to trauma, it may also be caused by improper sitting posture, bone calcification and degeneration, or coccyx injury in childhood. In daily life, you should pay attention to changing your sitting posture and bad habits, and do some simple exercises, which can achieve certain improvements. If the situation is serious or worsens, you should go to the hospital for treatment in time. In addition, if the pain is reflected to the nerves in the soles of the feet, this is due to bone hyperplasia, which compresses the nerves and causes pain. Seek medical attention promptly.

The causes of this condition include incorrect sitting posture for a long time, people who have undergone perineum and rectal surgery, or people who have had coccyx dislocation or fracture, which can all cause coccyx discomfort. As for women, due to the special structure of the pelvis or because the fetus is too large, vaginal delivery directly compresses the coccyx nerve, causing coccyx pain. According to the experience of traditional Chinese medicine, if the treatment is correct, taking medication, cooperating with physical therapy and other methods, the effect is very significant. If there is no significant progress after three to six months of treatment, surgery should be considered to avoid suffering.

After reading the above, do you know why the coccyx hurts after giving birth? I believe everyone must have understood it, so if this happens, you should seek medical attention immediately and don’t miss the best treatment time. At the same time, I also hope that you can recover soon and you and your baby will have a healthy body.
