Pregnant women should identify the cause of any abnormal discomfort and receive targeted treatment in a timely manner. For example, some pregnant women may experience soreness in the coccyx area, which cannot be ignored. So, what causes pain in the tailbone of pregnant women?
1. The cause of coccyx soreness in pregnant women may be physiological. Due to changes in hormone secretion levels in the body after pregnancy, some hormones can cause relaxation of various joint ligament tissues, and the soft tissue of ligaments in the pubic area can also be relaxed and pulled apart, making it easy to experience pain in the coccyx.
2. After pregnancy, as the fetus develops and grows, the uterus is stretched and compresses the veins and nerve plexus in the abdominal cavity, which can lead to poor blood circulation below the pelvic cavity. Especially for some pregnant women who have less activity, sit for long periods of time or lie in a semi recumbent position, they are more likely to experience pain in the ischium and coccyx.
3. Severe calcium deficiency during pregnancy can also lead to bone and joint pain, so if pregnant women experience significant pain in the coccyx, it is necessary to consider whether there is a cause of calcium deficiency. Therefore, in terms of diet, attention should be paid to strengthening nutrition and eating more foods rich in calcium elements.
4. In addition, pain in the tailbone of pregnant women may also be related to pathological factors, such as bone hyperplasia or dislocation of bone and joints in the coccyx. It is recommended that pregnant women with coccyx pain seek medical examination to determine the cause and undergo treatment under the guidance of a doctor.
