Tailbone pain when pressed may be caused by sedentary cold and other physiological factors, may also be caused by fasciitis, trauma, infection, bone tumors and other pathologic factors, if the pain is heavier or occurs more frequently, you should consult a doctor in time to find out the cause of the disease.
1. Physiological factors: when the tailbone is cold, sedentary, etc., the nerve endings may be stimulated, and pressure pain will occur, mostly transient, usually can be improved and relieved by rest and more activities.
2. Fasciitis: The subcutaneous tissue in the tailbone area is less sensitive to external stimuli. After being stimulated by the outside world, aseptic inflammation may occur, so there will be obvious pain when pressing.
3. Trauma: Trauma may cause local soft tissue injury near the tailbone or fracture of the tailbone, and the area may become congested and edematous after the injury. After the tissue heals, scarring or adhesions may form, and there will be obvious pain when pressing on the scarring or adhesions.
4. Infection: when the tailbone is infected, or women have gynecological inflammation such as pelvic inflammatory disease, due to the inflammation will lead to inflammation parts of a variety of substances exuded, causing pressure on the tailbone nearby, some components of the exudate will also play a role in the sensory nerve endings to cause pain, so there will be obvious pain when pressing the tailbone.
5. Bone tumor: Tumor will compress the surrounding tissues and destroy the bone quality, so the presence of tumor near the tailbone will also lead to pain when pressing.
If you have the problem of pain when pressing the tailbone, it is recommended to go to the regular hospital for consultation. Try to avoid sitting for a long time or letting the area around the tailbone get cold.
