Pelvic Pain Syndrome and Coccyx Pain

Pelvic  pain is any pain that occurs  in the area of the pelvis, internally or externally.  Chronic pelvic pain is described as pain that has been present for six or more months. Symptoms may include incontinence and pain during or after intercourse.

Pelvic pain is typically caused by abnormal muscle tone in the pelvic floor and surrounding muscles as well as malalignment of the bones in the pelvic region (particularly the pubic symphysis, sacrum, and coccyx).

Coccyx pain is any pain in the coccyx and/or rectal area.  Pain in the coccyx (coccydynia) is often due to a trauma such as a fall.
