What causes female coccyx protrusion?

Generally speaking, it is quite common for women to have coccyx pain. This is related to their own physiological characteristics. Of course, it is also affected by their occupation. However, only by understanding the specific situation can we take appropriate protective measures and make preparations for treatment in time after the pain persists. So what is the cause of coccyx protrusion in women?

Due to chronic strain and aging changes, the coccyx may gradually undergo degenerative changes, such as intervertebral disc degeneration, narrowing of the intervertebral space, and bone hyperplasia. This change is common in older people who have been engaged in stressful sitting jobs for a long time or in occupations that often involve bumpy sitting.

When coccyx pain occurs, the first thing to consider is the radiating pain caused by lumbar disc herniation compressing the nerves. It is recommended to do a lumbar CT scan first to confirm the specific condition. If it is lumbar disc herniation, conservative treatment with massage is recommended, as well as self-exercise.

You can lie prone on the bed, stretch your arms and legs forward and backward, and lift them upward. This can strengthen the lumbar muscles and relieve the symptoms of coccyx pain. It should be noted that you should pay attention to the treatment of lumbar disc herniation. Only when the lumbar disc herniation is cured can you completely get rid of coccyx pain.

If there is no obvious history of trauma but coccyx pain is caused, the cause may be incorrect sitting posture for a long time, which compresses the coccyx nerve and causes coccyx injury and pain. This is a disease that women are prone to. The symptoms of coccyx pain include tenderness near the coccyx in the buttocks or leg pain, covering the coccyx, levator ani muscles and surrounding soft tissues.

Prevention and treatment methods:

1. Maintain a good sitting posture, reduce pressure on the spine, and exercise more to reduce the chance of coccyx injury.

2. For people suffering from chronic coccyx pain, the most important thing is to reduce or avoid pressure on the affected area as much as possible. When sitting normally, you can place a pressure-reducing cushion on the chair to reduce pressure on the affected area.

3. Apply hot compresses to the affected area frequently, or use physical therapy such as ultrasound to enhance blood circulation in the painful area and promote therapeutic effects.

As for what causes coccygeal protrusion in women, the above introduction is very clear. There are many reasons that lead to coccygeal protrusion. Once pain occurs, it still needs to be taken seriously, especially when the situation is more serious and you may even be unable to move normally. At this time, you must receive timely and correct treatment.
