Causes of coccyx protrusion

Humans have gradually evolved from the most primitive form and developed into the physical features of today. According to the research of archaeological experts, the ancestors of humans were apes. The "humans" at that time could not be completely regarded as humans. They still had tails, but the passage of time affected human evolution. The coccyx gradually degenerated and became the current one with only a small piece of coccyx left. Let us understand the reason for the protruding coccyx.

The coccyx gradually degenerated and became the current one with only a small piece of coccyx left. Let us understand the reason for the protruding coccyx.

It is an injury to the sacral periosteum or ligament (probably chronic strain). Because there is less soft tissue in this area, it is easy to be injured. In addition, there is less local soft tissue in the coccyx. If you are thin, sitting for a long time will cause pressure on the coccyx and cause pain. It is recommended to sit less, sit on a thick and soft cushion, and do more physical activities to prevent cervical and lumbar spine diseases. If you are inactive for a long time, you will develop many spinal diseases.

Considering that it is caused by hyperplasia and inflammation, it is recommended that you go to the hospital for examination and take appropriate treatment based on the results. At present, you can't stimulate it too much, just keep it clean and hygienic. Relevant tests should be done to confirm the diagnosis. Get enough sleep. The diet should be light.

The human spine is divided into five parts: cervical vertebrae, thoracic vertebrae, lumbar vertebrae, sacral vertebrae and coccygeal vertebrae. Due to biological evolution, the human tail no longer exists. The number of coccygeal vertebrae is very small, only 4 to 5, and they are fused together to form the coccyx. The condition you are talking about is medically known as coccygeal pain.

Coccyx pain often occurs in the elderly, and its main causes are chronic strain of local ligaments and degenerative lesions of small joints. In addition, previous coccyx fractures, ligament and muscle strains, and local chronic inflammation can all induce this disease.

Patients with coccyx pain often do not get long-term pain relief. The pain will be aggravated when lying on the back or sitting on a hard bench. Defecation may cause relatively severe pain, but the local area is not red or swollen and the appearance is completely normal.

Because this disease is a chronic disease, long-term treatment is necessary. First of all, you should reduce the local load, walk as little as possible, and have foam plastic cushions on beds and chairs; secondly, pay attention to keeping warm. It is best to wear down pants or sheepskin pants in winter, and use a kang or electric blanket to keep warm at night; in addition, you should also do physical therapy according to the doctor's advice, such as heat therapy, wax therapy and electrotherapy, etc. You can also use massage and acupuncture treatment, and take a warm water sitz bath before going to bed every night to promote local blood circulation and the recovery of ligament and muscle function. Generally, the disease can be cured after about half a year of treatment.

Go to the hospital for a CT scan to find out if it is true! Pay more attention to exercise in daily life and don’t sit for a long time, as that can easily cause lumbar strain!
