Patient's question:
Doctor:Hello! I have a pulling, aching sensation in the coccyx (the area in the middle of the groin), especially when bending over or sitting for long periods, which is more painful. What could be the cause? I have been experiencing lower back discomfort since undergoing a D&C procedure on October 16th. On November 4th, I was diagnosed with chronic pelvic inflammatory disease (PID), and after medication treatment, the fluid was gone on my follow-up visit on November 14th. However, on November 21st, I felt a sore, twisted sensation in my lower back, and since then, the pain has been concentrated on the coccyx. Is this related to gynecological pelvic inflammatory disease, or is it an issue with the tendons? Please help me relieve my concerns!
Doctor's answer:
Hello, this situation may be caused by pelvic inflammatory disease. The main clinical symptoms of pelvic inflammatory disease include: lower back pain or lower abdominal pain, or worsening due to prolonged standing, overexertion, sexual intercourse, or premenstrual period. Severe cases can affect work. There may also be increased vaginal discharge, menstrual disorders, heavy menstrual flow, dysmenorrhea, and discomfort during sexual activity; fallopian tube blockage, infertility, etc. Over time, there may be a weakened constitution, high stress, and often combined with neurasthenia. It is recommended that you seek timely medical examination in a formal hospital and receive symptomatic treatment under the guidance of a doctor to avoid delaying the condition.
